EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1937, Michael Arlen, the renowned British writer and novelist, is seen in the company of two elegant and gracious hostesses, Mrs John Musker and Mrs Stanley-Clarke, at a charity dance held at Planetree House. Michael Arlen, born Dikran Kouyoumdjian in Bulgaria to Armenian parents, had already made a name for himself in literary circles with his best-known work, The Green Hat, published in 1924. Having naturalized as a British citizen in 1922, Arlen had become a prominent figure in the literary scene of the 1920s and 1930s. The trio's refined attire and the opulent setting of Planetree House reflect the glamour and sophistication of the era. Mrs Musker and Mrs Stanley-Clarke, both impeccably dressed, add an air of elegance and charm to the scene, as they engage in conversation with the charismatic Arlen. The photograph offers a glimpse into the social world of the 1930s, a time when literature and society intertwined, and where the lives of writers like Arlen were interspersed with social engagements and charitable events. Michael Arlen's literary accomplishments, including his groundbreaking novel The Green Hat, continue to captivate readers even today. This photograph, taken at a charity dance in 1937, serves as a reminder of the rich literary and social history of the 1930s and the enduring legacy of Michael Arlen.
