Über das Werk
This pen and ink sketch shows a scene from the first production of Blue Bell in Fairyland at the Vaudeville Theatre. The production opened in 1901 and starred Miss Ellaline Terriss (1871-1971) in the role of Bluebell. The musical play was written by Seymour Hicks (1871-1949) (the husband of Miss Ellaline Terris), with lyrics by Aubrey Hopwood and Charles H. Taylor, and music by Walter Slaughter (1860-1908). It was produced by the American theatrical producer, Charles Frohman (1856-1915). The story concerns a flower girl, Bluebell, who on Christmas Eve goes to fairyland in search of the "Sleeping King", seeking to restore him to his rightful throne. The production proved extremely popular and ran for over 300 performances.
