Featured review
Excellent film of Edwardian Theatre Company
This film was made in 1912/13 by William Haggar and his son Will Haggar Junior, using Will Junior's theatrical company, including Will's wife, Jenny Lindon, as Ann Thomas (the Maid), Will Junior as her lover, Will Hopkins, Will Fyffe, the future Music Hall star, as Lewis Bach, and Jennie Haggar as Ann's maid Gwenny. The film was made entirely out of doors, in locations at and near Pontardulais. It was given its first performance in Aberdare in December 1914. It is an excellent record of an Edwardian theatrical company performing its party piece, in silence, but taking advantage of the extra dimension of film. Last reviewed in Cardiff in 1938, the film was put away in a family cupboard, rediscovered in 1984, and conserved. 38 minutes out of its original 50 minutes survives.For further details, see my book, "William Haggar - fairground film-maker", to be published by Accent Press Ltd (qv) in May 2007.
