EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and patriotic spirit among the cast of "The Country Girl" at Daly's Theatre during a rehearsal break in 1914. Amidst the backdrop of the looming threat of World War I, these actresses took a pause from their stage performances to contribute to the war effort. Engaged in making mittens and mufflers for soldiers at the front, they are seen here knitting together in a hay cart or wagon, adding an authentic rural touch to their charitable endeavor. The image beautifully encapsulates the spirit of community and resilience that characterized this period in history. The cast members, dressed in their theatrical attire, exude a sense of determination and solidarity as they dedicate their time and resources to those in need. This poignant snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of these actresses, who balanced their artistic pursuits with their civic duties, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and collaborative spirit that defined the Home Front during the First World War.
