    The Geisha, a story of a tea house is an Edwardian musical comedy in two acts. The score was composed by Sidney Jones to a libretto by Owen Hall, with lyrics by Harry Greenbank. Additional songs were written by Lionel Monckton and James Philp. The Geisha opened in 1896 at Daly's Theatre in London's West End, produced by George Edwardes. The original production had the second-longest run of any musical up to that time. The cast starred Marie Tempest and C. Hayden Coffin, with dancer Letty Lind and comic Huntley Wright. The show was an immediate success abroad, with an 1896 production in New York and numerous tours and productions in Europe and beyond. It continued to be popular until World War II and even beyond to some degree. The most famous song from the show is "The Amorous Goldfish".[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geisha

    Lovely B&W shot. Do you mind sharing what kind of camera (filter) they used to capture this image!?

    Possibly the gun-slinger is Australia baritone John Ralston who played the Brigand Chief in the 1930 Australian production of 'The Maid of the Mountains.'

    Remember these pics of Sam Hood with his camera?...they were evidently taken for People magazine in 1953...

    I think it's the same camera in both pics...I can't work out what make it is...but if you go to the pics at the SLNSW and zoom in you can see he's using a Meyer & Co 'Trioplan' lens...
