EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Miss Mary Anderson, an accomplished actress of the late Victorian era. The image, taken in 1885, portrays a young and radiant Mary, dressed in a demure and elegant outfit, her expressive eyes reflecting a deep sense of sincerity and devotion. Miss Anderson was a beloved figure on the stage, gracing the Lyceum Theatre with her talent in various productions. However, this photograph reveals a different side to her, showcasing her commitment to her moral values and religious observance. The title "The good girl who would give up her play to go to church" further emphasizes her strong sense of morality and the importance she placed on her faith. The photograph is reminiscent of the entr'acte, a brief pause between acts during a theatrical performance. The closed curtains in the background symbolize the temporary suspension of the world of make-believe, allowing us to glimpse into the private life of this remarkable woman. Mary Anderson's story is a testament to the complexities and contradictions of life in the 1880s, where the stage and the pulpit coexisted, and where an actress's personal life was just as intriguing as her on-stage performances. Alfred Bryan, a renowned photographer of the time, captured this moment with sensitivity and artistry, resulting in an enduring image that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
