EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1901, showcases the bold and daring performance of Madame Claire Heliot at the London Hippodrome. In the arena, Madame Heliot fearlessly feeds raw beef to a group of lions and even a couple of dogs, demonstrating her remarkable skill and connection with these fierce animals. The London Hippodrome, a popular entertainment venue during this era, was known for its thrilling animal acts, and Madame Heliot's performance was no exception. The iron bars that encircle the arena serve as a reminder of the inherent danger and risk involved in such acts, designed to protect both the audience and the performers. Madame Heliot's fearless display of animal taming left onlookers in awe, making it an unforgettable moment in the history of the London Hippodrome. Today, the Steak Restaurant at the Hippodrome Casino bears the name of this brave and intrepid woman, honoring her legacy and the thrilling entertainment she brought to audiences over a century ago.
