The image, taken circa 1910, showcases the duo in their respective roles during a touring performance at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield, as part of the George Edwardes Company's production. Edmund Payne, portraying Max Moddelkopf, dons a smart military uniform, exuding an air of authority and confidence. His stern expression and poised posture suggest a man in control, ready to command the stage. In contrast, Happy Fanny Fields, as the delightful Mitzi, gracefully bows before the audience, her playful smile and expressive eyes captivating the hearts of all who witness her performance.

Berman, quickly became a sensation, touring to various theatres across the country. With its catchy tunes and engaging performances, it remains a beloved piece of popular entertainment from the 1910s.
