EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting allure of Miss Lily Brayton, also known as Mrs. Oscar Asche, as she embodies the mysterious and exotic character of Marsinah in the classic play "Kismet," which was revived at the esteemed Globe Theatre in London during 1914. The image showcases Brayton's mesmerizing costume, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, reminiscent of the opulent textiles found in the Orient. The veil, a symbol of mystery and allure, covers her face, adding an air of intrigue and enchantment to her portrayal of the character. The play "Kismet," which originated in India, was a popular revue that showcased the exoticism of the Orient and its culture. It was a time when the West was fascinated by the mysteries and allures of the East, and productions like "Kismet" allowed audiences to experience a glimpse into this fascinating world. Brayton's portrayal of Marsinah was a standout performance, with her captivating costumes and enchanting presence transporting audiences to another world. The photograph is a testament to the power of theatre and the ability of a talented actress to bring a character to life. Brayton's portrayal of Marsinah remains an iconic moment in the history of theatre, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the magic of a bygone era.
