Cowboy Cowboys Edwin Faversham Firing Milton Performance Royle Saloon Squaw Wild
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the early 20th century theatrical production of Edwin Milton Royle's play, "The Squaw Man." The image features the renowned American actor, William Faversham, in the leading role as Captain James Wynnegate. The play, which premiered in 1905, was a groundbreaking work in American theater, combining elements of the Western genre with a romantic plot. The scene depicted in this photograph takes place in a saloon, where tension is palpable. Faversham, dressed in the garb of a rugged cowboy, clutches a gun in one hand and aims it towards an unseen threat. The room is filled with the smoke of gunfire, and the expression on Faversham's face conveys a sense of determination and resolve. The other cowboys in the background, some with their hands on their weapons, seem poised for action. The Wild West setting of "The Squaw Man" was a popular theme in American culture during this time, and the play's success helped to solidify the genre's place in the American theater. Faversham's powerful performance as Captain Wynnegate no doubt contributed to the play's popularity, and this photograph captures a moment of high drama from the production. This photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th century theater and the enduring appeal of the American West.
