EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, His Royal Highness The Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur of Connaught and Strathearn, is seen engaging in an animated conversation with renowned American film producer and director Rex Ingram on the sun-kissed shores of the French Riviera. The Duke's visit to Ingram's famous Victorine Studios near Nice in 1926 was a significant moment in the history of early cinema and royalty. The Duke, who was the third son of King George V and Queen Mary, was known for his love of the arts and his support for the film industry. Ingram, a pioneering figure in Hollywood, had made a name for himself with groundbreaking productions such as "Mare Nostrum" and "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." The Magician, his latest project, was attracting international attention. As the Duke watched the making of some scenes for The Magician, he was no doubt impressed by the innovative techniques and technology employed by Ingram and his team. The studio, nestled between the azure waters of the Mediterranean and the lush greenery of the hills, provided the perfect backdrop for this artistic collaboration between a prince and a filmmaker. The photograph captures a moment of shared enthusiasm and mutual respect between two influential figures of their respective worlds. The Duke's visit to the Victorine Studios was not only a testament to Ingram's success but also a symbol of the burgeoning relationship between the film industry and royalty. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of art, culture, and royalty on the glamorous French Riviera in 1926.
