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. The lace scarf draped around her neck adds an air of sophistication and mystery to her regal appearance. Clement Scott and B.C. Stephenson's adaptation of Sardou's play was first introduced to London audiences at the Prince of Wales Theatre on 12th January 1878 and has since remained a beloved piece of theatrical history.
