This Sketch cover image dates back to 1917 and features the enchanting Cicely Debenham in the vibrant role of Louana Lou of Honolulu in the popular revue "Zig-Zag!" performed at the prestigious London Hippodrome. The photograph, taken during wartime, showcases Cicely's radiant charm as she gracefully poses against a lush green backdrop, her flowing grass skirt adorned with intricate zigzag patterns adding an exotic touch to her Hawaiian-inspired costume. Cicely Debenham, a talented actress and dancer, was a prominent figure in the early 20th century entertainment scene. Her performance in "Zig-Zag!" marked her return to the London Hippodrome stage after a successful run in the United States. The revue, known for its lively and colorful productions, provided a much-needed escape for London audiences during the tumultuous times of World War I. The image, which has been preserved in the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the allure and excitement of the early 1900s entertainment industry. With her captivating smile and stunning costume, Cicely Debenham embodied the spirit of the era, leaving a lasting impression on audiences and continuing to inspire admiration and fascination to this day.
