演藝館の實演

Live Performance at the Entertainment Hall

1922 (Taisho era)

Only the patterns on the costumes glow white in the dark. One performer sits, another twists as if dancing; each of the three strikes a different pose.

About this photo

On a dark stage are three performers in patterned costumes: one at the upper left, one seated in the middle, and one on the right who seems to be dancing. All around them, everything melts into black.

The title is "Live Performance at the Entertainment Hall" (演藝館の實演). In the table of contents it is listed under the "First Venue" and marked with a black dot. A note in the table of contents explains that this mark stands for special pavilions and shows that charged admission. The entry just before it, "Entertainment Hall," has the same mark, as do "South Seas Pavilion" (南洋館), "Street of All Nations" (萬國街), "Gishi Hall" (義士館) and others.
