EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Haggin, Ben Ali, Mr. Theatrical Production, 1915 Jan. 3,' is an enchanting glimpse into the world of early American theater. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image features two individuals, Ben Ali Haggin and an unidentified female performer, posing backstage at a playhouse. Ben Ali Haggin, dressed in full Arabian costume, dons a turban adorned with an extravagant plume, a flowing robe, and a sword at his side. His hand rests casually on his hip, exuding an air of confidence and swagger. The female performer, dressed in an ornate, flowing gown, gazes away from the camera, her hand delicately placed on the edge of a table. She wears a head dress, adding to the exotic and theatrical atmosphere of the scene. The pair's postures and costumes suggest a performance steeped in tradition and heritage, transporting us back to a time when live theater was a major form of entertainment in America. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow in this glass negative captures the essence of the theatrical experience, offering a unique window into the world of early 20th-century performing arts. This image is a treasure in the Library of Congress's extensive collection and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of live theater in the United States.
