EDITORS COMMENTS
Betty in Mayfair," a captivating image from J Hastings Turner's play "The Lilies of the Field," showcases the enchanting Betty, dressed in a voluminous crinoline skirt, lost in thought as she gazes out of a Mayfair drawing-room window. The photograph, taken during the production's run at the Ambassadors Theatre in London in June 1923, is a striking reminder of the play's successful West End debut. The play, with music by H. Fraser-Simpson, was first produced in Sunderland in October 1925 and later transferred to the Adelphi Theatre in November of the same year. Betty's anachronistic attire, a nod to the Victorian era, is a testament to her misguided belief that her man prefers her in such a dress. This evocative image, taken during the play's tour to the Theatre Royal in Worthing in August 1926, transports us back to the 1920s, a decade marked by its unique blend of tradition and modernity. The wide skirt, reminiscent of a bygone era, contrasts sharply with the contemporary backdrop of the London stage. The Lilies of the Field, a poignant drama, tells the story of Betty and her relationship with her lover, as well as her encounters with various other characters. The play's enduring appeal lies in its exploration of the complexities of human emotions and relationships, set against the backdrop of the vibrant and ever-changing world of 1920s theatre. This photograph, a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era, encapsulates the essence of Betty's character and the play's themes, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of theatre and the 1920s.
