EDITORS COMMENTS
Scene from Sanctuary, A Bird Masque, by Percy MacKaye: A Captivating Moment from the Meriden Bird Club Rehearsal in New Hampshire, 1913 This evocative black-and-white photograph captures a captivating moment from the rehearsal of Percy MacKaye's A Bird Masque at the Meriden Bird Club sanctuary dedication in New Hampshire, USA, in 1913. The scene, expertly documented by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases a group of actors and actresses in various stages of preparation for the first performance of this theatrical masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of a serene woodland clearing, the performers are seen rehearsing amidst the natural beauty of the woods. The male and female actors, dressed in period costumes, engage in animated discussions, while a man in the foreground adjusts the lighting. The sense of anticipation and excitement is palpable, as the group gathers to create a memorable theatrical experience. Arnold Genthe's masterful composition, with its intriguing juxtaposition of the thespians and the woodland setting, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American arts and entertainment during the early 20th century. The nitrate negative, held in the Library of Congress, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the performing arts and the magic they weave, both on and off the stage. A Bird Masque, a dramatic play by Percy MacKaye, was a unique theatrical production that combined elements of nature, music, and dance, making it a groundbreaking work in the history of American theater. This photograph, taken during the rehearsal for its first performance, offers a fascinating insight into the creative process and the dedication of the artists involved.
