VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a scanned page from "The Sketch Supplement" dated May 10, 1926, featuring the dancer of "The Bing Boys Are Here!" named Phyllis. The page includes three black-and-white photographs.
In the top left photo, Phyllis is depicted as a shepherdess, holding a crook and standing beside an individual dressed in dark clothing who appears to be gazing at her admiringly.
In the top right photo, she stands alone with her back turned toward the camera, showcasing an elegant dress with ruffles and emphasizing movement likely captured mid-twirl or dance step.
The bottom photograph captures Phyllis in full theatrical costume for what is described as the "Passion-Flower" dance. She strikes a dynamic pose with one arm extended upwards and another outstretched to hold onto what looks like part of a stage set designed to resemble foliage.
Below these images are captions that provide context for each photograph:
- Miss Phyllis Monkman as a Shepherdess; And Her Face Reflected in a Mirror.
- Miss Phyllis Monkman as A Dancer In The Second Number From The 'Bing Boys' Revue.
- Miss Phyllis Monkman In The 'Passion Flower' Dance.
These photos collectively offer glimpses into both the character portrayal by Phyllis in her role within "The Bing Boys Are Here!" revue and also highlight aspects of theatrical performance during that era such as costume design and expressive posing indicative of dance routines from early 20th-century theatre productions.
