EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary British comedian, Sir George Edward Wade, also known by his stage name George Robey, in his iconic costume as a pantomime dame for the production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" at the prestigious London Hippodrome in 1921. The image showcases Robey's extraordinary ability to embody the feminine character with his exaggerated makeup, flamboyant attire, and expressive facial expressions.

Robey's career as a comedian spanned over five decades, making him one of the most influential figures in British comedy history. His unique blend of music, comedy, and theatricality brought joy and laughter to countless audiences during the early 20th century. This photograph, taken in December of 1921, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sir George Edward Wade, or George Robey, as a trailblazing comedian and pantomime artist.
