EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a theatrical moment from the 1920s, as Lillah McCarthy and O.P. Heggie bring to life the characters of The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife on the stage of Wallacks Theatre in New York City. Based on the novel by renowned French author Anatole France, this English adaptation of the comedy premiered on Broadway and 30th Street in 1923. The image showcases the charming couple, with Lillah McCarthy, dressed in an elegant Victorian gown, looking adoringly at her husband, O.P. Heggie, who dons a dapper suit and top hat. The expression on Heggie's face suggests amusement, while McCarthy's gaze conveys a deep affection, highlighting the playful dynamic between the two characters. Wallacks Theatre, a historic venue, served as the perfect setting for this production, which drew in audiences with its witty dialogue and clever performances. The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife was a popular choice for theatre-goers during the 1920s, providing a much-needed escape from the stresses of everyday life. This photograph, from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of live entertainment in America during the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring appeal of the theatre, which continues to captivate audiences to this day.
