EDITORS COMMENTS
at the Adelphi Theatre, London: A Magical Christmas Pantomime Starring Phyllis Dare (1908) Step into the enchanting world of "Cinderella" at the Adelphi Theatre in London during the festive season of 1908. This photograph showcases a scene from the popular Christmas pantomime, with the principal boy, Phyllis Dare, gracefully portraying the title role. Dressed in a stunning, shimmering blue gown and glass slipper, she embodies the essence of Cinderella with her ethereal beauty and captivating charm. By her side, Carrie Moore dazzles as the Prince, his regal attire and charming demeanor perfectly complementing Phyllis's Cinderella. Intriguingly, Dan Rolyat and John Humphries bring the mischievous Baron and Baroness to life, adding a touch of humor and excitement to the production. Produced by the renowned Robert Courtneidge, this pantomime was a must-see theatrical event during the holiday season. The art of cross-dressing was a common practice in pantomime, with men taking on the roles of both the principal boy and the dame – in this case, Dan Rolyat as the Baron. As the curtain rises, the audience is transported to a land of magic, laughter, and wonder, where dreams come true and happily ever afters are guaranteed. This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of pantomime as a cherished form of entertainment, bringing joy and enchantment to generations of audiences.
