Faust by Stephen Phillips and J. Comyns Carr. First produced at His Majestys Theatre, London on 5th September 1908. Mr Tree as Mephistopheles. Mr Henry Ainley as Faust. The image used on the programme cover. There can be little doubt why the celebrated actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree, who saw himself as Irvings successor, wanted to play the part. Wills version was probably considered no longer stage-worthy. Date: 1908

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image, taken from the programme cover of Faust, the theatrical production first staged at His Majesty's Theatre in London on September 5, 1908, features the renowned actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree in the role of Mephistopheles, flanked by Henry Ainley as Faust. Tree, who saw himself as the successor to the legendary actor Irving, was drawn to the part following the waning popularity of earlier productions. Tree's Faust, produced by Stephen Phillips and J. Comyns Carr, was a highly anticipated event in the world of popular entertainment. The image captures Tree's imposing presence, clad in a distinctive red cloak, as he embodies the seductive and manipulative character of Mephistopheles. Ainley, an accomplished actor in his own right, portrays Faust with an intensity that complements Tree's performance. The production, which was first produced over a century ago in the early 1900s, remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Faust and the power of the stage to captivate audiences. This photograph, with its dramatic lighting and intriguing composition, offers a glimpse into the theatrical world of the past and the timeless allure of this classic play.
