Original – Rowland Buckstone and Cissy Grahame reprising their roles in the first revival of F.C. Burnand's The Colonel
Reason
These were the originators of the roles, so no real issues with it being a revival, and it's only about three years after the multi-year original run closed. Crop has been rightfully criticised at Commons FPC, but we can't go back and recrop it, and it does a good job at getting the feel of the play (a satire on æstheticism, much in the line of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience which opened shortly thereafter.
Articles in which this image appears
The Colonel, it's likely to appear in Cissy Grahame once that article exists, which it should soon, because she's fascinating.
