EDITORS COMMENTS
One Charles to Another Charles: A Backstage Encounter between Charles Lauri and Charles Harris at Drury Lane Theatre, London, 1886 This cartoon, titled "One Charles to Another Charles," offers a rare glimpse into the world of pantomime theatre during the late Victorian era. The image, dated January 1886, depicts two prominent figures in the pantomime community: Charles Lauri (left) and Charles Harris. Charles Lauri, a skilled pantomime performer, was renowned for his expertise in animal roles. His dedication to authenticity was unparalleled, as he meticulously studied the movements and mannerisms of various animals to bring a sense of realism to his performances. Lauri is seen here wearing an elaborate animal suit, complete with a top hat adorned with cat motifs, reflecting one of his most iconic roles. Across from him stands Charles Harris, a fellow pantomime collaborator from Drury Lane Theatre in London. Harris was an integral part of the pantomime production process, working behind the scenes to ensure the smooth running of the show. The two men engage in a friendly conversation, their relaxed demeanor suggesting a long-standing camaraderie. This enchanting cartoon, which appears in an 1886 entracte or program, offers a delightful insight into the world of pantomime theatre during the 1880s. The intricate details of the performers' costumes, the lively interaction between the two men, and the vibrant atmosphere of the theatre all contribute to a captivating and nostalgic portrayal of this unique form of entertainment.
