EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating theatrical production by Laura Wildig and Lewis Anthony, first graced the stage at St. Martins Theatre on December 22, 1919. This enchanting pantomime, with music by Lewis Anthony, quickly became a popular sensation and was soon touring to various venues, including the Playhouse in Liverpool, where this photograph was taken on December 23, 1920. The image captures the magical and whimsical atmosphere of the production, with a group of fantastical creatures and beasts gathered around a grand fireplace. The creatures, with their expressive faces and intricate costumes, seem to have stepped straight out of a fairy tale. The central figure, a majestic beast, gazes intently into the fire, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The 1920s were a golden age for pantomime and popular entertainment, and "Once Upon A Time" was a testament to the art form's ability to transport audiences to another world. The production's combination of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle made it a beloved staple of the theatre scene, and this photograph serves as a charming reminder of the magic and wonder that once filled the stage. Laura Wildig's direction and Lewis Anthony's music brought these enchanting creatures to life, creating a theatrical experience that continues to captivate and delight audiences to this day. This photograph is not only a snapshot of a moment in theatrical history but also a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the imagination.
