A Member of Tattersall's: A Scene from the Play by Captain H.S. Browning This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of horse racing and theatrical innovation as depicted in Captain H.S. Browning's play, "A Member of Tattersall's," which opened at the Whitney Theatre, now the Novello Theatre, in Aldwych, London, on February 28, 1912. In this scene, Rutland Barrington, as Peter Perks the bookmaker, leads a live horse named Plutocrat onto the stage. The jockey, Archie Arbuthnot, is seen in the background, poised to mount his steed. The integration of a live horse into the production was a groundbreaking achievement in the early 20th century, adding a level of authenticity and excitement to the performance. The play, which revolved around the world of horse racing and gambling, was a popular success and showcased the theatrical prowess of its talented cast. Rutland Barrington, an accomplished actor and director, brought depth and nuance to the role of Peter Perks, while Archie Arbuthnot's portrayal of the jockey added a touch of athleticism and charisma to the production. The combination of live animals, dramatic performances, and the thrill of horse racing made "A Member of Tattersall's" a must-see event for London theatre-goers. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the early 20th-century theatre scene, as well as the enduring appeal of the world of horse racing and the human connection to these magnificent animals.
