Photographs of young actress in a film and theatre production, Manuela'. Captioned, Children in Uniform: Two Manuelas'. With descriptions, Manuela and her friends wait for Fraulein von Bernberg's good-night, in the Duchess Theatre production, The English Schoolgirl; Jessica Tandy, who takes the part of Manuela in the play at the Duchess Theatre, modelled herself very closely on the German actress's portrayal of a sensitive, imaginative schoolgirl in the grip of an iron system, but her acting is just as delicate and moving as if she herself had created the part, and The German Schoolgirl; It was Hertha Thiele who first, in the German film, "Madchen in Uniform, " gave Manuela life by the poignant beauty of her characterisation. Manuela, whether of the play or the film, remains in the memory as a living person, and for those who have seen both film and play, as one individuality rather than as the same part played by two different actresses'. Date: 1933

Children in Uniform - Two Manuelas
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A captivating comparison of two iconic portrayals of the sensitive and imaginative schoolgirl character, Manuela, from the German film "Madchen in Uniform" and the Duchess Theatre production of "The English Schoolgirl." In this evocative photograph, Manuela and her friends eagerly await Fraulein von Bernberg's goodnight in the Duchess Theatre production. Jessica Tandy, who assumes the role of Manuela in the play, masterfully embodies the character with a delicate and moving performance. Her portrayal is deeply influenced by Hertha Thiele's groundbreaking interpretation in the 1933 German film. Hertha Thiele's poignant and beautiful portrayal of Manuela in "Madchen in Uniform" brought the character to life, leaving a lasting impact on audiences. Tandy, in her interpretation, models her performance closely on Thiele's, capturing the essence of a young girl in the grip of an iron system. Despite being portrayed by two different actresses, Manuela remains a vivid and memorable character. For those fortunate enough to have seen both the film and the play, the two performances merge into one individuality, a testament to the power of exceptional acting and the enduring legacy of these groundbreaking interpretations. This photograph, taken in 1933, captures a moment in time when two remarkable artists brought to life a character that continues to resonate with audiences, leaving a lasting impact on the world of film and theatre.
