Yes, that Varèse
A scene from John Barrymore's
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1920).
.
The man on the right is composer Edgard Varèse.
He has just administered poison to the gentleman in the middle, who seems to have been sleeping with his wife.
"Life was charmed but without politics or religion...the life of peace, the blurring between dream life and real life...yet, I think there was a trade-off somewhere along the line. I think the price we paid for our golden life was an inability to fully believe in love; instead we gained an irony that scorched everything it touched. And I wonder if this irony is the price we paid for the loss of god."

His work in puppet theatre was much more impressive. Philip
