EDITORS COMMENTS
The Tango Craze of 1913: A Captivating Moment from 'The Girl on the Film' This evocative image, taken from the front cover of The Sketch magazine in 1913, immortalizes the electric moment between George Grossmith and Kitty Mason as they embrace in a passionate tango dance at The Gaiety Theatre. The tango had swept through London and the world, igniting a craze for this seductive and sensual Argentine dance. George Grossmith, a popular English comedian and actor, and Kitty Mason, a renowned dancer, embody the allure and excitement of the tango in this scene. Their knee-to-knee position and intense gaze into each other's eyes convey the intense connection and emotion that the dance inspired. Their costumes, with Grossmith in a dapper suit and Mason in a flowing, figure-hugging dress, epitomize the fashion of the era. The intricate detailing on Mason's dress and the elegant lines of her pose accentuate the grace and beauty of the tango. The Gaiety Theatre, a legendary London venue known for its lavish productions, provided the perfect stage for this electrifying performance. The Girl on the Film, the production in which this dance was featured, was a massive success and further fueled the tango craze that had already taken hold of the city. This image serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a moment in time when the tango dance captivated the hearts and minds of people around the world.
