EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and radiant Margaret Whigham, later known as the Duchess of Argyll, attending the London film premiere of 'Jew Suss' in October 1934. Accompanied by her proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hay Whigham, the socialite's elegant presence was a notable addition to the high-society event. The Duchess, who was born in 1912, would later make headlines for her scandalous second marriage to the Duke of Argyll. At the time of this photograph, however, she was still known as Miss Whigham, a rising star in London's social scene. The film premiere of 'Jew Suss,' a controversial adaptation of the infamous historical figure, attracted a distinguished guest list, including Prince George, Duke of Kent. This photograph offers a glimpse into the glamour and opulence of 1930s society, as well as a poignant reminder of the Duchess of Argyll's humble beginnings before her life took a series of dramatic turns.
