THE PANTOMIME SEASON – SOME PRINCIPALS IN LONDON AND THE PROVINCES.
There has been quite a boom this year in pantomime production, if not in successes. In and about London alone no fewer than between thirty and forty Christmas pieces have been produced.
Miss Alice Lloyd is one of the five Little Red Riding Hoods who are to be seen in London this season. She is very successful in Mr. Isaac Cohen’s production, singing, acting, and dancing with equal taste. Miss Jessie Preston, Miss Poppy Williams, and several excellent male artists support with spirit a performance which is strongly supported in a spectacular sense. Our picture is from a photo graph by Langfier, Ltd.
Miss Lil Hawthorne is praised by the Birmingham writers for her good presence and good voice. She is associated with Mr. George Robey in the performance, Mr. John Brabourne, Mr. Herbert Sparling, Miss Ethel Newman, Miss Lulu London, Miss Carlotta Levey, and other favourites. Our picture is from a photograph by Geo. Garet-Charles, Acacia- road, N. W.
Aladdin, the fifth annual pantomime at the Crown Theatre, is also its fifth annual success. Miss Marie Lloyd is a great favourite here, and her Aladdin sustains her popularity. Miss Lloyd’s performance has lost none of its spirit since her earlier triumphs, while it has gained in those other qualities which the critical like to find. Our picture is from a photo graph by Langfier, Ltd.
Miss Ada Blanche, whose capital performances in Drury Lane pantomime are not yet forgotten, is, at Liverpool, once again a very effective Dick Whittington. She has the advantage of appearing in a version of the old story pleasantly retold, and of being very capably supported. Our pictures of Miss Blanche in costume are from photographs by Ellis and Walery, Baker-street, the remaining one being .by Henry, The Vandyke Studio, Liverpool.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
