EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and vibrancy of the re-opened London Hippodrome in August 1909. The image showcases a diverse lineup of acts that graced the stage during the entertainment extravaganza. In the foreground, the Ahearn Troupe, a comedy cycling act, adds a touch of humor with their acrobatic feats on bicycles. Further back, the Marvellous Schenk Brothers perform impressive turns and balancing acts, leaving the audience in awe. The Braatz Performing Dogs, with their well-trained canine companions, bring a playful energy to the scene. In the background, Charles Hawtrey can be seen in the midst of performing a one-act play, "Time is Money." However, the true highlight of the programme was the Austrian sisters, Grete, Elsa, and Berta Wiesenthal, also known as Die Schwestern Wiesenthal. Their astonishingly energetic, expressive, and modern interpretations of the waltz redefined the art form and left audiences spellbound. The sisters' innovative and captivating performances epitomized the spirit of Viennese modern dance and set the stage for a new era in dance and entertainment.
