Colour lithograph print of Ivy St. Helier in the role of Manon la Crevette from the three-act operetta 'Bitter Sweet' (1929) by Noël Coward. The print is from 'Heroes and Heroines of "Bitter Sweet"'' by Max Beerbohm, which contains four other colour plates depicting the play's cast. Charles Cochran produced it at Her Majesty's Theatre, London where it ran for 967 performances and then in 1933, it was made into a film version, where Ivy St. Helier reprised her role as Manon. The print depicts St. Helier with short black hair and wearing a light grey checked jacket and skirt, standing and looking to the side with her arms outstretched.
