EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition as actress Ursula Jeans and novelist Alec Waugh engage in an amateur cricket match against their respective teams of actresses and authors in Regent's Park during the 1930s. Dressed in their cricket whites, Ursula Jeans, with her radiant smile and poised stance, and Alec Waugh, with his focused expression and confident body language, embody the essence of the game. The charity cricket match, which brought together some of the most renowned figures from the worlds of acting and literature, was a popular event during the 1930s. The atmosphere was light-hearted, with both sides eager to showcase their skills on the field and support a worthy cause. Ursula Jeans, a versatile actress who graced the stage and screen with her talent, was a regular participant in these matches. Her acting career spanned over four decades, and she was known for her roles in films such as "The Wicked Lady" and "The Seventh Veil." Alec Waugh, the elder brother of renowned author Evelyn Waugh, was an accomplished novelist and travel writer. His works, which included "Scoop" and "Robbery Under Law," showcased his keen insight and wit. As the sun began to set on this idyllic day at Regent's Park, the players, spectators, and organizers alike would have left feeling uplifted and inspired by the spirit of friendly competition and the unity of the acting and literary communities.
