Dame Dressed Leno Panto


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Dan Leno, a legendary music hall artist, as he dons the extravagant attire of a Panto Dame. Dressed in a vibrant, voluminous gown, complete with a towering wig and an expressive face adorned with heavy makeup, Leno embodies the larger-than-life character synonymous with traditional British pantomime. Leno's career spanned over four decades, making him one of the most popular and enduring figures in the history of British music hall entertainment. His unique ability to connect with audiences and bring joy through his performances made him a beloved figure in the world of theatre. Panto Dames are a staple of British pantomime, a theatrical form that combines music, comedy, and dance, often with a moral or educational theme. The Dame character is traditionally played by a man, and is known for their exaggerated femininity, comedic timing, and cross-dressing. Leno's portrayal of the Panto Dame is a testament to his versatility as a performer and his ability to entertain audiences of all ages. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when music halls were the heart of popular entertainment. The image is a reminder of the rich history of British theatre and the enduring appeal of the Panto Dame character. With a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, Dan Leno continues to captivate and delight, long after the final curtain call.
