EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative publicity photograph from 1931, British actress Louise Hampton (1881-1954) captivates the audience with her intense and anxious expression as she clutches the receiver of a bakelite telephone. The atmospheric image, taken backstage at the Phoenix Theatre in London, was taken to promote Hampton's role in the thrilling play "Late Night Final." Hampton, a renowned actress of the 1930s, was known for her versatility and ability to bring depth and nuance to her characters. In "Late Night Final," she took on the role of a worried and fearful woman, whose psychological anxiety reaches a fever pitch as she receives ominous phone calls in the dead of night. The play, a suspenseful thriller, was a staple of the theatrical scene during the 1930s and kept audiences on the edge of their seats with its dramatic twists and turns. The photograph, with its dimly lit background and Hampton's fearful expression, perfectly encapsulates the sense of unease and suspense that permeated the production. Hampton's performance was praised for its authenticity and ability to draw the audience into the story, making her an indelible part of the theatrical history of the 1930s. The image remains a testament to Hampton's talent and the enduring power of live theatre to transport us to another world.
