EDITORS COMMENTS
Aladdin at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh: A Delightful Scene from the 1907 Howard & Wyndham's Royal Pantomime Step back in time to the magical world of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, during the festive season of 1907. This photograph captures a moment from the Edwardian pantomime production of Aladdin, presented by the renowned theatrical company, Howard & Wyndham. In this lively scene, Aladdin is seen making a daring escape from four determined policemen, hot on his heels. The policemen, armed with their truncheons, are in pursuit of the mischievous hero, who is known for his quick wit and cunning antics. Above their heads, Chinese lanterns illuminate the stage, adding a touch of exoticism and enchantment to the scene. The pantomime of Aladdin was a popular choice for entertainment during the early 1900s, and this production at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, was no exception. The combination of comedy, music, dance, and spectacle made for an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The Orientalist theme of the pantomime, as evidenced by the lanterns and the Chinese influence, was a common trend during this period. However, it is essential to note that this representation of China and Chinese culture was often simplified and stereotyped, reflecting the societal norms of the time. This photograph, taken from The Michael Diamond Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Edwardian pantomime and the magical memories created at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, over a century ago.
