EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Sir Herbert Tree as Professor Higgins and Mrs Patrick Campbell as Eliza Doolittle in George Bernard Shaw's groundbreaking play, Pygmalion. The image, taken during the London production that opened at His Majesty's Theatre on 11 April 1914, offers a glimpse into the magical world of this timeless tale. Herbert Tree, a renowned English actor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, masterfully portrays Professor Higgins, the phonetics professor who takes it upon himself to transform the Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady. Tree's portrayal of the Svengali-like character is both commanding and transformative, as he molds Eliza into a refined lady through the power of speech. Mrs Patrick Campbell, an accomplished actress in her own right, brings Eliza Doolittle to life with her vibrant energy and charisma. Her transformation from a street urchin to a lady of society is a testament to her acting prowess and the power of Shaw's writing. The dynamic between Tree's Professor Higgins and Campbell's Eliza Doolittle is electric, making this production of Pygmalion a must-see event. Pygmalion, a play that explores the themes of social class, identity, and transformation, was a critical and commercial success, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the history of this iconic production. Shaw's masterful writing, combined with the exceptional performances of Tree and Campbell, made this a theatrical experience that would be remembered for generations to come.
