The revival of this popular theatrical entertainment took place at the Adelphi Theatre in London on 8th March 1924. The image showcases Cooper's striking profile, with her close-set eyes gazing intently, framed by her elegant headdress adorned with intricate netting, tulle, and an embroidered veil.
