Zena Dare and Seymour Hicks are the two performers named here, and the picture shows them in *The Catch of the Season*, a light Edwardian stage comedy whose plot turns on the pursuit of an eligible suitor, a marriage-market theme that suits this board. Dare was one of the most admired musical comedy stars of her day, known for her poise and her singing, while Hicks was a leading actor-manager who could move easily between comedy and romance. Edwardian theatergoers often followed such stars as closely as they followed society figures, so a portrait of the pair in costume offers a glimpse of how the stage presented courtship and the wedding ideal to its audiences.
