EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and allure of a costume design by Victor Stiebel for the 1933 Jerome Kern musical "Music in the Air," which was performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in London. The design was worn by the leading actress, Mary Ellis, during her starring role in the production. Victor Stiebel (1907-1976) was a renowned British costume designer, known for his innovative and intricate designs that graced the stages of London's West End and Broadway. In "Music in the Air," Stiebel outdid himself with this exquisite dress, which perfectly encapsulated the glamour and sophistication of the 1930s. The dress, which is depicted in this photograph, features a flowing, floor-length skirt made of shimmering silver fabric, adorned with intricate beadwork and sequins. The bodice is fitted and adorned with delicate straps and a plunging neckline, adding to the overall sense of elegance and allure. Mary Ellis, who wore the dress during her performance, was a popular English actress and singer, known for her versatility and grace on stage. She brought the character of Princess Marina to life in "Music in the Air," and the stunning costume design by Stiebel only served to enhance her performance. The musical itself, with a book by Guy Bolton and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, was a huge success, running for over 300 performances in London and later transferring to Broadway. The production was a testament to the power of music and the art of storytelling, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the era in which it was created. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the history of fashion and theatre, and a testament to the talent and vision of Victor Stiebel and Mary Ellis. It is a beautiful and timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire.
