EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the 1931 production of Dick Whittington at the Chiswick Empire in London. The silhouetted image showcases a lively and theatrical moment from the popular pantomime, with Dick Whittington (centre) and his companions, including the iconic cat and the man with a bell, all pointing towards the right. The unusual addition to this production was the visit to Morocco, as depicted on the right side of the print. With Dick gesturing towards an exotic, feathered hat, it appears that the group has encountered some adventure in this far-off land. The men's expressions are filled with excitement and wonder, adding to the magical and whimsical atmosphere of the pantomime. The Grand Fairy Comic Pantomime of Dick Whittington was a beloved theatrical tradition in the 1930s, providing popular entertainment for audiences of all ages. This print offers a glimpse into the magical world of the Chiswick Empire's production, transporting us back to a time when theatre was a cherished form of community enjoyment. The intricate details of the costumes, the expressive poses of the actors, and the vibrant colours of the Moroccan backdrop all contribute to the enchanting scene captured in this photograph. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of pantomime and the magic it brings to the stage, making it a cherished piece of theatre history.
