Amusing Dunce Lawson Learn Learning Puzzle Puzzled Silly Stupid Thinking
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightfully amusing photograph, Mary Lawson poses as a most alluring little dunce, playfully poking fun at the traditional image of a student struggling to learn. The year was 1931, and Mary was in the midst of enchanting audiences as Gretel, the beautiful daughter of Professor Hinzelmann, in the spectacular Tyrolean musical play "White Horse Inn" by Erik Charell at the London Coliseum. Mary's expression is one of puzzled contemplation, her cap askew on her head, a book open in her lap, and a quizzical look on her face as if she's trying to solve the most intricate of puzzles. The cap, a classic symbol of a dunce, adds to the playful and lighthearted nature of the image. Despite her apparent lack of academic prowess, Mary's portrayal of Gretel was anything but silly. She brought depth and nuance to the role, captivating audiences with her singing, dancing, and acting abilities. This photograph, however, offers a charming and humorous glimpse into the lighter side of Mary's career, showcasing her ability to poke fun at herself and add a touch of whimsy to her public persona. Mary Lawson's career spanned several decades, and she left an indelible mark on the world of British theatre and film. This photograph, taken during her time in "White Horse Inn," is a testament to her versatility and charisma, offering a delightful and amusing study of an actress at the height of her powers.
