EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of the March 1918 edition of The Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News, showcasing the enchanting cast of the production of "The Live Wire" at the St. Martins Theatre. At the heart of the scene, the mesmerizing Helen Morris portrays Christina Anderson, a Norwegian girl who, due to her striking resemblance to a Scottish woman, found herself wrongly accused of espionage. Adjacent to Helen, the dazzling Hilda Trevelyan captivates as Betty Byrne, a character in this thrilling play. Betty's love interest, Chip, played by the charismatic Donald Calthrop, is seen in the background, having masterfully escaped from prison and disguised himself as an officer. The Live Wire was a gripping and suspenseful production that kept audiences on the edge of their seats. The chemistry between the three performers was undeniable, and their talents left a lasting impression on the theatre-going public. This photograph, taken in 1918, is a testament to the captivating world of live entertainment and the extraordinary artists who brought it to life. The Illustrated Sporting & Dramatic News, published by Illustrated London News Ltd, captured this moment in time, allowing us to relive the magic of the St. Martins Theatre and the unforgettable performances of Helen Morris, Hilda Trevelyan, and Donald Calthrop.
