EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Dorothy Mather in the role of 'Cigarette' from the classic play 'Under Two Flags' at the Kennington Theatre in London, during the early 20th century. Based on the novel of the same name by Ouida, published in 1867, this production brought the timeless story to life on the English stage. Dorothy Mather's portrayal of Cigarette, a young and enigmatic woman with long, wavy hair, captivated audiences with her allure and mystery. The character, a street seller of flowers, is a central figure in the story set in Dover, where she becomes entangled in a romantic triangle with two soldiers. Mather's expressive face and captivating stage presence are on full display in this image, which showcases her in the midst of a passionate moment. Her intense gaze and the dramatic lighting add to the intrigue and emotion of the scene. The Kennington Theatre, located in South London, was known for its innovative and daring productions, and 'Under Two Flags' was no exception. The play's exploration of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of human relationships resonated with audiences and solidified Mather's reputation as a talented and versatile actress. This photograph is a testament to the power of live theatre and the ability of an actor to transport an audience into the heart of a story. Dorothy Mather's portrayal of Cigarette continues to captivate and inspire, over a century after this production graced the stage of the Kennington Theatre in London.
