Attila (A Tragedy in Four Acts), written by Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), and produced by Mr. Oscar Asche at His Majesty's Theatre, London, in September 1907.

Scenes from Attila (A Tragedy in Four Acts), written by the English playwright Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), and produced by Mr. Oscar Asche at His Majesty's Theatre, London, in September 1907.

The Sphere, September 7th, 1907,   of "A Striking Scene in the Poetic Play, "Attila" by Arthur Garratt.  Mr. Laurence Binyon's Four-Act Play, Attila, produced by Mr. Oscar Asche on Wednesday evening, deals with the King of the Huns (A.D. 453) from the Poetic rather than the historic standpoint. The scene is the ramparts of a Burgundian city. This picture shows Mr. Asche as Attila encountering the Burgundian princess, Ildico (Miss Lily Brayton), om whom he sets his heart. The scenery and dresses as designed by Mr. C.S. Ricketts are particularly beautiful.

Scenes from The Three Kisses with music by Howard Talbot, book by Leedham Bantock (1870 - 1928), and lyrics by Percy Greenbank, produced by Frank Curzon at the Apollo Theatre, London, on 21 August 1907, running for 114 performances.

   Some scenes from The Three Kisses (a two-act Edwardian musical comedy) with music by Howard Talbot, book by Leedham Bantock (1870 - 1928), and lyrics by Percy Greenbank, produced by Frank Curzon at the Apollo Theatre, London, on  21 August 1907, running for 114 performances.

   The production featured notable performers including soprano Caroline Hatchard in the role of Pervenche, tenor Walter Hyde as Andrea, and comedian Walter Passmore as Signor Garibaldi Pimpinello. Set in Naples, the story follows a young fisherman named Andrea who becomes romantically entangled with three women amid comedic misunderstandings and banter, highlighted by musical numbers such as "Life's a Song" and "Neapolitan Boat Song." Despite high expectations, The Three Kisses was considered an unmitigated flop by critics and audiences. Its run of 114 performances underscored the challenges of the Edwardian stage, where successful musicals like Talbot's earlier A Chinese Honeymoon contrasted with this less fortunate endeavor.
