EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment of Old Mother Hubbard, portrayed by the legendary Mr. Horace Mills, during a pantomime performance at the Princes Theatre in Bristol, early in the 20th century. The image transports us back in time to an era when live theatre brought joy and wonderment to communities across Britain. Mr. Horace Mills (1868-1939) was a renowned pantomime dame and comedian, known for his extraordinary ability to captivate audiences with his comedic timing, flamboyant costumes, and unforgettable characters. In this production of Mother Hubbard, he donned the iconic dress, apron, and bonnet, transforming into the lovable and eccentric matriarch of the tale. Pantomime, a unique British theatrical tradition, combines elements of music, dance, comedy, and spectacle. It is typically performed around the Christmas and New Year season and has its roots in Italian commedia dell'arte and English folk drama. The art form has been a cherished part of British cultural heritage for centuries, providing an essential platform for local talent and community engagement. The Princes Theatre, located in the heart of Bristol, has a rich history of its own, having opened its doors in 1867. Over the years, it has played host to a diverse range of productions, from classical plays to contemporary musicals, and has been an integral part of the city's cultural landscape. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of live theatre and the magical moments it creates. It invites us to reflect on the history of pantomime, the artistry of Mr. Horace Mills, and the vibrant cultural heritage of Bristol.
