EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the inimitable George Robey, a legendary English music hall comedian and singer, in his iconic Dame Trot persona from the 1922 production of "Panto-Land: Hippodrome Leads." A trailblazer in the world of entertainment, Robey's extraordinary talent as a performer left audiences in awe, and his ability to seamlessly transition between various characters was unparalleled. In this image, Robey dons the extravagant and elaborate costume of Dame Trot, a character that defied traditional gender norms and paved the way for future drag performances. The cow print dress, exaggerated bust and hips, and towering headdress are all hallmarks of the Dame Trot character, which Robey brought to life with his impeccable comedic timing and unforgettable wit. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of pantomime and the evolution of gender roles on the stage. Robey's portrayal of Dame Trot challenged societal norms and paved the way for future performers to embrace the art of cross-dressing and queer representation in the world of entertainment. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of George Robey and his groundbreaking contributions to the world of music hall and pantomime. It serves as a reminder of the power of performance to challenge conventions and bring joy to audiences, while also highlighting the importance of preserving the history of the arts and the trailblazing figures who shaped it.
