EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe on February 26, 1915, showcases the enigmatic and talented actress, Lillah MacCarthy, then known as Mrs. Granville Barker Harley. The image captures Lillah in an intimate moment, with her hands folded in prayer-like pose, conveying a sense of deep introspection and contemplation. Dressed in an elegant embroidered dress, Lillah's fashionable attire of the 1910s era is both stylish and timeless. Her intricately styled hairdo, with its delicate curls and neatly pinned up locks, adds to her regal and refined appearance. Born in England, Lillah Emma MacCarthy made a name for herself in the American acting scene, particularly at the renowned Playhouse Theatre in New York, which was led by her husband, Granville Barker. Her acting career spanned over several decades, and she was known for her versatility and ability to bring depth and nuance to her roles. This portrait, captured on glass negatives by Arnold Genthe, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Lillah MacCarthy and the rich heritage of theatre and entertainment history. The image is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and artistic significance.
