Admirers Back Stage Dressing Elderly Elders Entertaining Fans Gentlemen Gents Lunt Monocle Susanna Wilmot 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Susanna and the Elders," is a stunning representation of the allure and charm of the backstage world during the Roaring Twenties. The young, beautiful actress, with her radiant smile and expressive eyes, is seen entertaining two mature admirers in her dressing room. The elder gentlemen, clad in formal attire and adorned with monocles, appear enamored by her presence, each holding a fan as if to cool down from the heat of her charisma. The playful title of the photograph is a clever reference to the Biblical story of Susanna and the Elders, in which two elders attempt to seduce a young woman in her own home. However, in this case, the power dynamic is reversed, with the young actress holding the reins of attention and admiration. The elegant setting, complete with ornate mirrors, plush velvet chairs, and an array of flowers, adds to the sense of glamour and sophistication. Wilmot Lunt, a renowned photographer of the era, expertly captures the essence of the 1920s, with its blend of youthful exuberance and old-world charm. The photograph, with its high contrast and sharp detail, transports us back to a time when the magic of live theatre reigned supreme and the allure of the silver screen was just beginning to take hold. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the performing arts and the captivating allure of the artists who bring stories to life on stage. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when the world was a little smaller, and the simple pleasure of a live performance could transport us to another world, if only for a moment.
