1913 Anxiety Beard Begging Drama Dramatic Fear Mid Adult Couple Moustache Nervous Plays Pleading Theatrical Productions 1910s Guilt Rejection

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1913, we are transported back in time to witness the intense rehearsal of "The River" a new stage play. Miss Darragh and Desmond Brannigan, both talented actors of the early 20th century, are seen here immersed in their roles. The image captures the raw emotions that theater brings forth - anxiety, fear, guilt, and nervousness. As our eyes focus on Miss Darragh's expressive face, we can sense her pleading with Brannigan's character. Her eyes convey a deep sense of longing mixed with desperation. Brannigan himself exudes an air of rejection as he gazes away from her pleading gaze. Their mid-adult appearances add maturity to their performances; each line etched on their faces tells a story untold. Brannigan's distinguished beard and mustache further enhance his portrayal of a complex character torn between conflicting emotions. This photograph is not just about two individuals rehearsing for a play; it encapsulates the essence of theatrical productions itself - drama at its finest. It reminds us why theater has always been such an integral part of entertainment throughout history. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints staff, this remarkable snapshot allows us to step into the past and experience firsthand the intensity behind creating art on stage. Let it serve as a reminder that even after more than a century has passed since its capture, great acting continues to captivate audiences across generations without losing its power or relevance.
