EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment from the 1925 production of "Fallen Angels" at the iconic Globe Theatre in London. In the image, the charismatic Tallulah Bankhead and the elegant Edna Best can be seen engaged in an intense conversation on the dimly lit stage. The production, which was a part of the jazz age nightlife scene in London during the 1920s, was a modern adaptation of the Noel Coward play. Bankhead, known for her sultry voice and mercenary charm, played the role of Myra Arundel, a woman who returns to her husband after an extended absence, only to discover that he has fallen in love with another woman. Best, on the other hand, portrayed the long-suffering Julia, who is trapped in a loveless marriage. The Globe Theatre, which had been rebuilt in 1911, was a popular venue for theatrical productions during the 1920s. The theatre's unique round design allowed for an intimate and immersive experience, making it the perfect setting for the provocative and thought-provoking themes of "Fallen Angels." The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a time of cultural and social change. Jazz music was all the rage, and the era was marked by a newfound freedom and rebellion against traditional values. The theatre scene reflected this, with productions like "Fallen Angels" pushing boundaries and exploring taboo subjects. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when live entertainment held a special allure and the Globe Theatre was at the heart of London's vibrant nightlife scene. Bankhead and Best, with their captivating performances, brought the characters of "Fallen Angels" to life, leaving audiences enthralled and entertained.
