His unique blend of music, comedy, and theatricality brought joy and laughter to countless audiences during the early 20th century. This photograph, taken in December of 1921, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sir George Edward Wade, or George Robey, as a trailblazing comedian and pantomime artist.
