This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Edward Terry, a renowned actor of the early 20th century. The image, taken in 1912, showcases Terry in his role as Pochette, or Boulotte, in the production of Paul Ferrier's Barbe-bleu. Terry's expressive eyes and theatrical pose convey the intrigue and allure of his character, a blue-bearded prince who falls in love with three sisters, each believing herself to be the fairest in the land. Born in 1854, Terry began his career on the English stage in the late 1870s, quickly gaining recognition for his versatility and captivating performances. He appeared in a wide range of productions, from Shakespearean tragedies to contemporary comedies. Terry's portrayal of Pochette in Barbe-bleu marked a high point in his illustrious career, showcasing his ability to embody both the masculine and feminine aspects of his character with equal finesse. Florence St. John, who portrayed one of the three sisters in this production, can be seen standing beside Terry in this photograph. St. John, born Margaret Grieg, was a Scottish-born singer and actress who made her London debut in 1883. She went on to enjoy a successful career on both the British and American stages, performing in a variety of roles, from operas to musical comedies. This photograph, taken during the rehearsals or a performance of Barbe-bleu, offers a rare glimpse into the world of early 20th-century theatre and the captivating performances of Edward Terry and Florence St. John. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of live theatre to transport audiences and enchant the imagination.
