The Bird of Paradise
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Richard Walton Tully: A Bittersweet Tale of Love and Heartbreak in Hawaii, 1919 In this evocative theatrical photograph, we find ourselves transported to the exotic shores of Hawaii in 1919, where the stage of the Lyric Theatre in London comes alive with the poignant story of "The Bird of Paradise." The image captures the moment of marriage between the American hero, played by an unidentified actor, and the enchanting Hawaiian heroine, portrayed by the talented Maud Featherstonehaugh. Their union, however, is not one of joy and celebration but rather a union born out of necessity and circumstance. The backdrop of the photograph is set against the majestic Pacific Ocean, with a steamship, the symbol of departure and new beginnings, visible in the background. The American hero gazes at his new bride with a mixture of sadness and resignation, while she returns his gaze with a look of quiet despair. The air is thick with the palpable sense of impending heartbreak and separation. The story of "The Bird of Paradise" is a classic tale of forbidden love, cultural clashes, and the inexorable pull of duty and tradition. Despite their deep connection, the couple is ultimately driven apart, leaving the Hawaiian heroine with no other recourse but to throw herself into the volcano, an act of ultimate sacrifice and despair. This photograph, with its hauntingly beautiful image of love and loss, serves as a poignant reminder of the often tragic consequences of love that defies convention and societal expectations. The image, produced by the renowned photographer Richard Walton Tully, captures the very essence of the dramatic and emotional story that unfolded on the stage of the Lyric Theatre in London, 1919.
