About this Item

Title

  • [Being practically the entire cast of "Uncle Vanya"]

Summary

  • Theatrical review drawing shows several actors and actresses on the stage of the Cort Theater: Kate Mayhew, Osgood Perkins, Nedda Barrigan, Eugene Powers, Walter Connolly, Eduardo Ciannelli, Joanna Roos, and Lillian Gish. In the scene from "Uncle Vanya," Powers and Connolly confront each other, knocking a book off the table that stands between them. The other characters react to the argument.

Notes

  • -  Caption label from exhibit Stagestruck! Performing Arts Caricatures: Cesare depicts most of the cast of Uncle Vanya on the stage of the Cort Theater: Kate Mayhew, Osgood Perkins, Nedda Barrigan, Eugene Powers, Walter Connolly, Eduardo Ciannelli, and Joanna Roos. The legendary actress Lillian Gish is portrayed on the far right. Although Gish was undeniably the star of the show, Cesare's ensemble portrait finds an echo in the words of a critic who noted that the production "succeeded brilliantly" and "includes every part on equal terms."

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

  1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

    • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
      As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
    • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

  2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

    • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
    • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
  3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
