Vivien Leigh as Titania in A Midsummer
Night's Dream, The Old Vic, 1937 (colorized)
The 1937 Christmas production was directed by
Tyrone Guthrie, with sets and costumes by Oliver Messel. Shakespeare's play was presented as an affectionate Victorian pastiche, and included large choruses of muslin-clad fairies flying in on wires.
Mendelssohn's famous incidental music was much in evidence, with choreography by Ninette de Valois. Vivien Leigh's Oberon was played by
Robert Helpmann, Ralph Richardson played
Bottom, and Gordon Miller, Puck.
*** Titania's fairy crown, designed by Oliver Messel and worn by Vivien Leigh

The original black and white photographs were expertly colorized by artist Matt Loughrey. Pictured, Theda Bara, one of the most popular actresses of the silent era. Matt Loughrey's colorized portrait of the star was originally taken while Bara was taking on the role of the eponymous character in Carmen, a now lost Raoul Walsh film released in 1915.
