EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1923 in Sheffield, Yorkshire. A group of Native American Indians grace the streets of Sheffield as they visit the Albert Hall Cinema to promote the film "Covered Wagon". This remarkable event was orchestrated by Reginald T Rea, the ingenious manager of Albert Hall, who devised numerous publicity stunts during the vibrant era of 1920s cinema. The image has been skillfully colorized from its original black and white version, breathing life into this historical moment. The Native Americans stand out amidst a bustling crowd with their traditional attire and unique cultural heritage. Their presence undoubtedly captivated onlookers and sparked curiosity among locals about their rich traditions and customs. This photograph serves as a testament to both the power of cinema in shaping public imagination and Reginald T Rea's innovative promotional strategies. It offers us a glimpse into an era when films were not only entertainment but also grand spectacles that brought diverse cultures together. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives, this snapshot provides valuable insight into Sheffield's cinematic history while honoring these visiting Native American guests. Let us cherish this extraordinary piece of local heritage that reminds us how art can transcend boundaries and unite communities across time and space.
