EDITORS COMMENTS
This Mother Goose Pantomime photograph, taken circa 1925, showcases a delightful production staged at the iconic London Hippodrome. The star-studded cast includes Shaun Glenville (1884-1968) in the titular role as Mother Goose, Isobel Elsom (1893-1981) as her daughter, and the inimitable Fred Conquest (a full-time animal actor) portraying the mischievous goose. The Mother Goose pantomime was a popular theatrical tradition in the UK, with its origins dating back to the 16th century. Pantomimes were known for their unique blend of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle, making them a beloved form of entertainment for audiences of all ages. In this production, Shaun Glenville, a seasoned actor, dons an extravagant Mother Goose costume complete with a towering headdress and voluminous skirt. His expressive face and playful demeanor perfectly capture the essence of the beloved character. Isobel Elsom, an accomplished actress, complements Glenville's performance as the dutiful and loving daughter. Fred Conquest, a versatile performer, brings the goose to life with his skilled animal acting. Dressed in a realistic goose costume, Conquest masterfully conveys the bird's personality through his movements and expressions. The trio's chemistry shines through in this enchanting photograph, offering a glimpse into the magical world of Mother Goose and the London Hippodrome's pantomime productions of the 1920s.
