EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment when Simone de Beryl, a renowned dancer of the early 20th century, performed her mesmerizing act as The Fairy of the Fountains at the London Hippodrome in 1910. The image shows Simone gracefully dancing amidst a stunningly illuminated fountain, surrounded by ever-changing lights that reflected off the shimmering water. The Sketch magazine described the scene as unfortunate for photographs, as they could not fully convey the charm and magic of the live performance. Simone de Beryl was known for her innovative and captivating dance acts that often incorporated water and illumination, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in live entertainment. Her Fairy of the Fountains act was a true spectacle, combining the beauty of dance with the allure of water and the enchantment of light. The London Hippodrome was a popular entertainment venue during this time, attracting audiences from all over the world with its extravagant productions and diverse line-up of performers. Simone's act was a highlight of the venue's offerings, leaving audiences spellbound with her grace, agility, and the ethereal beauty of her performance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when live entertainment was a truly magical experience. Despite the limitations of the photograph, the image still captures the essence of Simone's captivating performance and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of dance and the art of illusion.
