EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Dacia Allwood, also known as Dacia the Dancer, poses gracefully for this elegant portrait, taken in 1915. At the height of her fame, Dacia was a celebrated dancer and a leading performer in the popular wartime musical, Chu Chin Chow. The production, which featured an all-star cast and extravagant sets, was a huge success and played to packed houses in London's West End. Amidst the excitement and glamour of her successful career, Dacia's personal life was also making headlines. The Tatler announced her engagement to Colonel Critchley Salmonson of the Royal Fusiliers, City of London Regiment. The announcement was met with great interest from the public, as the colonel was a respected military figure and an unlikely match for the glamorous and talented Dacia. Dressed in an elegant gown and with her hair styled in soft curls, Dacia exudes an air of beauty and poise in this portrait. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the world was captivated by the magic of live theatre and the romantic allure of the stage. With her expressive eyes and graceful posture, Dacia's presence continues to captivate us, over a century later, as a reminder of the power of art and the enduring appeal of the human spirit.
