EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to a scene from the theatre production of "Bought and Paid For" at the renowned New Theatre on March 14,1913. The focal point of this image is Mr Giro Kim, a trailblazing actor who made history as the first Japanese man to perform in English on London's stage. Dressed impeccably in traditional Japanese attire, Mr Kim portrays the character of Oku with remarkable grace and authenticity. His expressive eyes convey a range of emotions that captivate the audience's attention. Surrounding him are other talented actors donning dapper bow ties, embodying their respective roles flawlessly. The setting exudes elegance and sophistication, befitting a play set within high society. A butler stands nearby holding an ornate tray with drinks for the cast members during intermission or perhaps after a successful performance. This glimpse into behind-the-scenes moments reminds us of both the hard work put into creating theatrical magic and the camaraderie shared among these dedicated performers. As we delve into this snapshot from history captured by Mirrorpix, it serves as a reminder not only of cultural milestones but also how entertainment has always been an integral part of our lives. It sparks curiosity about what transpired before and after this particular moment onstage – tales untold yet forever preserved through photographs like this one found in Memory Lane Prints' collection.
