EDITORS COMMENTS
at the London Hippodrome: A Theatrical Spectacle of Asiatic-Russian Life This photograph, taken in 1900, showcases a scene from the play "Siberia," which was performed at the renowned London Hippodrome. The play, written by the esteemed Mr. Henglers, offered audiences a glimpse into the exotic and intriguing world of Asiatic-Russian life. In this thrilling moment, actors portray the daring escape of prisoners from a Siberian prison. The prisoners, dressed in authentic costumes, are shown leaping from their cells and making a desperate run for freedom, while Russian officers on horseback pursue them relentlessly. The use of live horses in the production added an extra layer of authenticity and excitement to the performance. The plunging horses, a common theatrical technique of the time, added to the drama and suspense of the scene. The skillful actors and their equine partners executed the stunts with precision and grace, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats.

"Siberia" was no exception, offering audiences an immersive and visually stunning experience. The play's authentic costumes, intricate sets, and thrilling action sequences transported audiences to the far reaches of Russia and provided a glimpse into a world that was both unfamiliar and fascinating. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of live theater during the early 1900s and the captivating production of "Siberia" at the London Hippodrome.
