EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the androgynous charm of actress Madge Marvis in the role of Fay Collen from the comedy play "Spring Cleaning" by Frederick Lonsdale, which was staged at St. Martin's Theatre in London during September 1925. The image, taken by renowned photographer Stuart Black, was published in The Sketch, offering a glimpse into the theatrical world of the 1920s. Madge Marvis, with her monogle and short, sleek hair, exudes an air of androgyny and mystery in this profile view. She is seen cross-legged on a chair, a cigarette dangling from her lips, adding to her nonchalant and enigmatic demeanor. The play "Spring Cleaning" was a popular success during this era, and Madge Marvis' portrayal of Fay Collen was particularly well-received by critics and audiences alike. The photograph's composition and lighting further enhance the intrigue, with the dimly lit room and the single source of light illuminating Madge Marvis' profile, drawing the viewer's attention to her expressive features and captivating presence. The image is a testament to the allure and charisma of Madge Marvis, as well as the enduring appeal of the comedy play "Spring Cleaning" during the 1920s.
