EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the enchanting world of pantomime in December 1919. The image features two prominent figures from the renowned Drury Lane production of Cinderella - Buttons and one of the ugly sisters. Dressed in elaborate costumes that epitomize the extravagant fashion of the early 20th century, these actors exude a sense of joy and excitement as they bring their characters to life on stage. Their smiles are infectious, reflecting both their dedication to entertaining audiences and their genuine happiness in doing so. The artistry behind their transformation into these larger-than-life personas is evident through every intricate detail showcased in their attire. From vibrant colors to exaggerated accessories, it is clear that no expense was spared in creating an immersive experience for theatergoers. As men take on traditionally female roles known as "dames" they challenge societal norms while adding a layer of humor and wit to the performance. This unique aspect further highlights the innovation and creativity found within pantomimes during this era. This remarkable photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of entertainment throughout history. It reminds us how even decades later, we can still be captivated by theatrical productions like Cinderella at Drury Lane, where imagination knows no bounds.
