[Film & Theater] Genthe, Arnold (1869-1942) [Marlowe, Julia. (1865 - 1950) & Sothern, E. H. (1859 - 1933)]. Signed Photograph of Sothern and Marlowe in "Romeo and Juliet.". Original Genthe photograph photograph of E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe in the death scene of "Romeo and Juliet ." Signed on the mount in the lower right corner by the photographer. Staining to edge of mount, corner and edge wear, otherwise nice. From the Robert Tollette estate. 14 x 18 inches, beautifully framed to slightly larger.


Genthe writes about taking this image in his memoir "As I remember," on page 113: "Some years before I had taken some photographs in black and white of the death scene in Romeo and Juliet. When the catafalque had been put up in all its completeness by the men from the theater, it filled the whole floor space. Fortunately, I had a little foyer which permitted me to set my camera at the right angle. The pictures created a moving dramatic effect with Sothern kneeling over the bier and looking at Marlowe's profile of rare and perfect purity. I had also taken her profile alone as Juliet, which she referred to as the most beautiful picture ever taken of anyone."
