The Cingalee,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production first brought to life at the Daly's Theatre in London on March 5, 1904, ran for an impressive total of 365 performances. This photograph, dated 1904, features a promotional print for the show, showcasing the eponymous heroine, Cingalee, hailing from the exotic shores of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image is the brilliant work of artist Albert Morrow, who masterfully captured the allure and mystery of the island's enchanting beauty. The musical comedy, with book and lyrics by Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank, and additional material by Paul Rubens, was set to the melodic tunes of Lionel Monckton. The production was brought to life by the renowned George Dances Company, who graced the stage of the Theatre Royal in Bath on March 6, 1905. The Cingalee tells the story of a young woman from Ceylon who comes to England to seek her fortune and falls in love with a British officer. The production was a sensation in the early 1900s, with its exotic setting, catchy music, and compelling storyline. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the show and the magic it brought to audiences over a century ago.
