EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1910s, we witness a captivating scene from the rehearsal of Percy MacKaye's "A Bird Masque," performed at the Meriden Bird Club sanctuary dedication in New Hampshire. The image, captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Juliet Barrett Rublee in the role of Tacita, the dryad. The al fresco setting of the photograph adds to the ethereal atmosphere, as the dancer gracefully interacts with her natural surroundings. Rublee, a suffragist and film producer, embodies the spirit of the role, her flowing white costume blending seamlessly with the lush greenery and dappled sunlight. The outdoor performance, a testament to the connection between art, nature, and the human spirit, was a groundbreaking event in the history of American theater. The nitrate negative, a relic from the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the arts and the environment were intertwined. The photograph, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, stands as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic innovation that flourished in the United States during this era. The image, devoid of commercial use, is a conceptual representation of the occupation of a performer, the concept of heritage art, and the profession of a film producer. It encapsulates the essence of a woman's journey, her dedication to her craft, and the transformative power of art and nature. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Percy MacKaye's work and the indelible impact of Juliet Barrett Rublee's performance.
