Mid Pleasures and Palaces: A Thrilling Pantomime Production from the 1910s This image is from a promotional letterhead for the tour of the popular pantomime, "Mid Pleasures and Palaces," by C. Watson Mill, which was set to play at the Grand Opera House on 7th April 1913. The scene depicted in the photograph is from the production's most suspenseful moment, as Roult bravely prepares to smash the window in Iroma's bedroom to save her from the clutches of El Hassan. The pantomime, which was first produced at the Grand Theatre in Mansfield on 23rd September 1912, was a staple of theatrical entertainment during the early 1900s. Pantomimes were known for their lively performances, colorful costumes, and engaging stories that often included elements of comedy, music, dance, and adventure. In "Mid Pleasures and Palaces," the fearless Roult faces his greatest challenge yet as he sets out to rescue Iroma from the evil El Hassan, who has kidnapped her. The tension builds as Roult, with a determined look in his eyes, raises his arm to shatter the window, ready to confront the danger that lies beyond. The image, which captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment, is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime and the thrill of live theatre. With its captivating storyline, memorable characters, and stunning production values, "Mid Pleasures and Palaces" was sure to provide audiences with an unforgettable theatrical experience.
