EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity of a pivotal moment from the 1925 theatrical production of 'The Chinese Bungalow' by Marion Osmond and James Corbet. In the scene, Yuan Sing, portrayed by Matheson Lang, sits in quiet contemplation as he reads a letter from his English wife's sister, Charlotte. The urgent message, written in haste, implores him to come at once as they are in grave danger. The date on the letter, August 26, 1926, suggests that this is a personal farewell visit for Yuan Sing before he embarks on the Canadian tour of the play. The Chinese Bungalow was a three-act melodrama set in the Far East, which was first produced at the Grand Theatre in Hull on October 2, 1925, and later premiered in London at the Kings Theatre, Hammersmith, on November 23, 1925. The play was adapted for film three times, in 1926, 1930, and 1940. In this image, Yuan Sing is dressed in traditional Chinese attire, including a kimono and a hat adorned with a pom-pom. He sits in a dimly lit room, the only source of light coming from a table lamp. The artist, Charles Buchel, masterfully captures the mood of the scene, with Yuan Sing's intense gaze and the intricate details of the letter and writing utensils. The Chinese Bungalow was a grand production, and this image offers a glimpse into the richness and complexity of the theatrical experience.
