I hate the watermark but this photo is scrumptious. I thought this may have been in London but it's at the Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City. I watched a video on YouTube of Atlantic City in the 1950s and this hotel was shown.

Thanks to @luzzarm for the help💓

THE DEVIL’S GARDEN

1916

The Devil’s Garden is a play by Edith Ellis based on the 1914 novel of the same name by William B. Maxwell. It was originally produced by Arthur Hopkins. 

To help her husband keep his job, a woman gives in to her employer's advances. When the husband finds out, he kills his rival.

The production was announced in June 1915. The Selwyn’s hoped to cast British actor Norman McKinnel as Will Dale, but the part later went to Lyn Harding. 

The production design, by Robert E. Jones, was noteworthy and profiled in The New York Times. Jones believed that one artist should be in charge of all artistic elements of a production: lighting, scenery, costumes, and properties. Today this concept is known as a scenarist. 

Shortly before the curtain rose on the first act of The Devil's Garden in Atlantic City, a cablegram was delivered to producer Arthur Hopkins. The cablegram was from the original book’s author W.B. Maxwell and had been forwarded through the War Office In London. 

"Arthur Hopkins: Warmest and heartiest wishes for your success. I hope that though the terrible corner of the Devil's Garden now in Europe, may soon be blotted out and the one you are planting in America may grow and flourish as It should when filled with Harding annuals.” 

Maxwell was at the front with the English army fighting ‘the great war’ which would later be known as World War One. 

The play opened at the Apollo Theatre in Atlantic City on December 20, 1915. 

The Hotel Traymore, which often housed actors and directors while they were in Atlantic City, advertised the play as part of their Christmastime activities. The Traymore began as a small boarding house in 1879, but in 1915 re-opened extensively remodeled and modernized. The hotel expanded and became one of the city's premier resorts. As Atlantic City began to decline in  popularity during the 1960s and ‘70′s, the Traymore became severely run down. It was demolished in the spring of 1972, four years before New Jersey legalized gambling in Atlantic City. Footage of the implosion is featured in the opening of the 1980 film Atlantic City.

The play opened on Broadway on December 28, 1916 at the Harris Theatre (254 West 42nd Street), which opened in 1904 as the Lew Fields Theatre, and was renamed the Hackett Theatre in 1906. It was re-named again in 1920 as the Frazee, and then a fourth time in 1924 as Wallacks, before becoming a vaudeville stage and cinema in 1930. It was razed in 1992 as part of the 42nd Street Redevelopment Project. 

“A chaotic and misfire performance.” ~ GEORGE JEAN NATHAN

The play closed on Broadway after just 23 performances. 

In July 1921 a film adaptation of the play opened on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City at the Virginia Theatre. The now-lost silent film featured Lionel Barrymore and Jane Rankin. Coincidentally, another new hotel opened in July 1921: the Ritz-Carlton. Although the theatres are now long gone, the Ritz (as a condominium complex) is still standing today. This blog was written from its fourth floor.

The Traymore was located at the intersection of Park Place and Boardwalk, aka the swankiest property in the game Monopoly. This fine product of American creative genius was demolished in 1972.
