Tree, producing lavish productions of Shakespeare, historical melodramas, and high society dramas for English bourgeois audiences at the turn of the century, filled his stage with scenery, props, and supernumeraries that together testified to his wealth as a producer and his ability to consume.
This study investigates Tree’s stage mises-en-scène as apparati of spectacular consumption, as conglomerations of signs and sign systems signifying wealth and status.
Finally, Chapter 4 examines Tree’s Shakespeare Festivals from 1905 to 1913 along with their rival festivals in Stratford-on-Avon as projects to revise the English national identity and their attempts to be subsequently institutionalized as the National Theater of England.

It affords a look at the renowned stage actor Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, in what must have been his first screen role, and it is also one of the very earliest screen adaptations of classic literature.
The footage comes from the last scene of Shakespeare's "King John", and depicts the king (Sir Herbert) in agony, both mental and physical.
While Sir Herbert's style is clearly based on the stage, he nevertheless convincingly portrays King John's torment, and if you read some of John's lines while watching the footage, it fits together.

These films feel like they are from another time, which of course they are, but at the same time one can't help but be impressed with their liveliness, their inventiveness, and their exuberance.
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree's King John (he both directed and played the lead) is considered by most experts to be the first ever film adaptation of Shakespeare, and for a long time was thought to be lost forever.
This piece is apparently one of four scenes filmed, in what wasn't so much an adaptation as it was an advertisement for the King John that Beerbohm Tree was staging contemporaneously at Her Majesty's Theater in London.
