EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the electrifying presence of Miss Harriet Laurie, also known as The Electric Star, during her performance in the entr'acte of Alfred Bryan's production, "Cartoon, Cartoons," on October 10, 1885. The late Victorian era production, set against the backdrop of the 1880s, was a visual and musical spectacle that showcased the innovative use of electricity in live entertainment. Miss Harriet Laurie, an accomplished singer and dancer, is seen here in the darkened theater, bathed in the soft glow of electric light. Her expressive face and animated pose convey a sense of excitement and energy that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the performance. The contrast between the dark stage and the radiant light illuminating Miss Laurie creates a striking visual effect, further emphasizing her magnetic allure. The use of electricity in the production was a groundbreaking innovation for the time, adding an element of modernity and wonder to the traditional theatrical experience. Miss Harriet Laurie's performance as The Electric Star was a testament to the power of art and technology in captivating and delighting audiences. This photograph, taken during the entr'acte of the production, offers a rare glimpse into the world of late Victorian entertainment and the captivating figure of Miss Harriet Laurie, a woman who truly shone brightly as a star on stage.
