EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the making of the 1928 British silent film, 'The First Born.' In the image, director John Lodor (holding a megaphone) stands amongst a focused and attentive cast and crew, including young actresses Madeline Carroll and Annette Benson, as well as actor Miles Mander. The scene was likely being filmed during the 1930 production year, as evidenced by the fashionable yet dated clothing and hairstyles of the individuals present. The film, produced by Gainsborough Pictures, tells the story of a young girl named Mary, who is torn between her love for her brother and her desire to marry for wealth and social status. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of great social and cultural change, and 'The First Born' reflects the historical context of the era. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era in film history, providing a unique perspective on the filmmaking process during the silent film era.
