PANTOMIME HISTORY ################################################################################ WHEN DID PANTOMIME BEGIN? That is a good Question .......... The word "Panto- mime" comes from two Greek words, which translate, to "I imitate all". The name pantomimes or "Pantomimus" refers to the actors rather than the show. These actors would perform a "Dumb" show (Without words or "Mime"). In later years the pantomime name came to refer to the art of acting without words and by using gestures and expression only. This early actor wore masks to hide their faces and was a popular form of entertainment widely seen in Greece and later became popular in Rome. Actor writer Titus Maccius Plautus (251 -184 BC) wrote about 150 of these Mime plays or Fabulae Atellanae (Atellan stories - from the Southern Italian Town in Campania where they were first performed). The plays included a clown called Fabulae thus the "Fabulae Atellanae". The start of the modern development of Pantomime could have been with two dancers, Pylades and Bathylus, who performed in the Roman Empire at the time of Augustus Caesar. They would perform shows without speaking, usually humorous stories that became an early form of slapstick.

During the ceremony of the "Feast of Saturnalia"(19th of December to celebrate the god Saturn), which was held in mid-winter, the Romans would turn everything on its head. The men would dress as women and the women would dress as men. The slaves became the masters and the masters became the slaves.

They took a basic script and add libbed their way through the story adding comedy routines etc. The basis of their story was of two lovers who wished to marry, but the girl's father refused them permission as he wished his daughter to marry a rich man rather than the pauper that she loved. One of the early additions they made to the stories was the introduction of a white faced Clown with black smudges, called Arlacchino. When they reached Paris the name of the clown changed to Arlequin and later in 1573 when they came to England the character became Harlequin.

#01. PANTOMIME HISTORY ################################################################################ WHEN DID PANTOMIME BEGIN? That is a good Question ..........The word "Panto- mime" comes from two Greek words, which translate, to "I imitate all". The name pantomimes or "Pantomimus" refers to the actors rather than the show. These actors would perform a "Dumb" show (Without words or "Mime"). In later years the pantomime name came to refer to the art of acting without words and by using gestures and expression only. This early actor wore masks to hide their faces and was a popular form of entertainment widely seen in Greece and later became popular in Rome. Actor writer Titus Maccius Plautus (251 -184 BC) wrote about 150 of these Mime plays or Fabulae Atellanae (Atellan stories - from the Southern Italian Town in Campania where they were first performed). The plays included a clown called Fabulae thus the "Fabulae Atellanae". The start of the modern development of Pantomime could have been with two dancers, Pylades and Bathylus, who performed in the Roman Empire at the time of Augustus Caesar. They would perform shows without speaking, usually humorous stories that became an early form of slapstick. During this period of theatrical history, it is also possible that the creation of the "Dame" and "Principle Boy" started to develop. During the ceremony of the "Feast of Saturnalia"(19th of December to celebrate the god Saturn), which was held in mid-winter, the Romans would turn everything on its head. The men would dress as women and the women would dress as men. The slaves became the masters and the masters became the slaves. However, when Christianity arrived in Rome this practice was stopped as it was thought to be immoral. The Dame and Principle boy roles are a rebellious gesture against the establishment hidden in an innocent story.

During the late 1500's (1673) in the reign of Charles the IX of France (1550 -74), the "Commedia dell'Arte" (Comedy of the Artistes) were a troupe of performers, who appeared at various Royal Palaces in France and Italy, influenced by the early pantomimes. They took a basic script and add libbed their way through the story adding comedy routines etc. The basis of their story was of two lovers who wished to marry, but the girl's father refused them permission as he wished his daughter to marry a rich man rather than the pauper that she loved.

When they reached Paris the name of the clown changed to Arlequin and later in 1573 when they came to England the character became Harlequin. In the 1900's the character again changed to the comic role of "Buttons" or "Simple Simon" depending on the story. The "Commedia dell'Arte" had a set of clothing for each character they included in the play. Many of the characters reoccurred in various guises in all the different productions, the Il Capitano (The Captain) who was the great lover, fighter, who turned out to be a coward at the first sign of danger. He started life as Miles Gloriosus in one of Plautus's plays. Next we have Il Dottore (the Doctor or learned man) who talked constantly in Latin and a made up language. By the end of the play is always shown to be a fake or quack. Pantalone is an old man who is also the baddie of the production. He like the Captain is portrayed as a lover but in Pantalone's case he would succeed with all the girls including his step daughter in some of the plays where he played the father character. The female heroine "Silvia or Isabella" would be either the Ward or Daughter of Pantalone who would be promised to an elder character or who Pantalone himself would like to marry, she on the other hand would always like a younger man Our hero.

Harlequin (The clown - A masked man dressed in a diamond pattern, brightly coloured suit), The character of Harlequin (Italian Name - Arlecchino) is described as "A mischievous character who plays tricks on the Clown and Pantaloon to whom he is supposed to be invisible owing to the possession of a Magic Wand (called a Slapstick) and who during the Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime."

Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu).A traditional character in the Italian comedy she is the object of affection for the Clown (Pierrot) but is won over by Harlequin at the end of the Pantomime.

Pantaloon (The Father of Columbine) (Italian name Pantaleone - A Saint popular in Venice) A ridiculous character in Italian comedy dressed in skin tight trousers (Which have now become part of the English Language as "Pantaloon's"). Sometimes he is an old bachelor, but generally, he is either married to an unfaithful younger wife, or he is the father of troublesome young daughters in the play. One of his Daughters is usually "Columbine" and Harlequin is sometimes portrayed as his lackey or servant.

Pierrot (Pantaloon's blundering servant) later re named "Clown".

The original "Harlequinade" as the pantomimes were known had the hero (Harlequin) being given a Magic wand (or "Slapstick") which he would use to transform the scenes. He would do this by by banging the stick on the floor. The noise from the stick would be the cue for the stage manager to put into motion the scene changes.

During the reign of Elizabeth, the first (1558 - 1603) it was considered un-executable for women to appear in plays especially in comedies. It was not until 57 years after her death that women started to take over the male roles in the theatre, the first recorded instance was in 1660 when the part of Desdemona was played by an actress in "The Moor of Venice" previously the female parts in the play had been played by boys who looked like girls.

By 1661, even Samuel Pepys noted in his diary that the "Cross dressing" of characters was invading the world of the theatre and wrote.

"To the Theatre... where a woman acted Parthenia, and came afterwards on the stage in Man's clothing, and had the best legs that ever I saw, and I was very well pleased with it".

In 1702 at the Drury Lane theatre, John Weaver produced an English version of the Italian Harlequinade shows called "The Tavern Bilkers". This was a show with musical accompaniment, special effects and elaborate scenery and had all the ingredients of panto, but it wasn't until he created a show based on the ancient Italian shows called "The Loves of Mars and Venus" that Mr Weaver used the word Pantomime to describe the performance. Although, John Weaver was the first to advertise the word Pantomime its future development was up to the owner of "The Lincoln's Inn Fields theatre", a Mr John Rich.

In 1714 John Rich (1681- 1761) took over the "Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre" from his father Christopher Rich, (After complaints to the Lord Chamberlains office Christopher Rich was sacked from running Drury Lane theatre and had to be forcefully removed by Soldiers. He then took over the derelict Lincoln's Inn Theatre) who had converted a "Real Tennis court" in London into the theatre in 1661. The building was thought to be the first to have a Proscenium arch behind the apron stage and to employ scenery which was "Set" and "Struck" just like a modern day theatre. He wanted his theatre to be better than any other especially its rival in Drury Lane. To this end he would stage bigger and better productions to outdo his opposition.

In 1716 (Approx.) the Drury Lane theatre produced a show called "Harlequin turned Judge".John Rich came up with the idea of Pantomime from the Ballets-Pantomimes of John Weaver, a dancing master at the rival Drury Lane theatre. Weavers work included "The Cheats; or the Tavern Bilkers" (1702) and the more successful "The Loves of Mars and Venus" (1717) and was considered to be the first English theatre performance to be named a "Pantomime".Under the stage name of John Lun, John Rich played Harlequin in some of John Weavers productions, a role he played for many years until his death in 1761 and a part he started playing because he didn't have a very strong voice and as the character never said a word it was ideal. John Rich followed this with his own production six days later called "Columbine or Harlequin turned Judge". In 1717, knowing the Drury lane theatre had a better class of actor, Mr Rich devised his own show called "Harlequin Sorcerer". In the same year (1717) John Rich persuaded John Weaver to join

him at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre to produce Pantomimes although Weaver hated the name Pantomime calling them "vulgar".

In 1721 "the Magician, or Harlequin a Director" was produced at the "Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre" with some new additions to the silent action. A magical transformation sequence was added turning Palaces and Temples into huts & cottages as well as trees into houses. The story also involved the courtship between Harlequin and Columbine (John Rich always played the part of Harlequin under the name of Lun (or Lunn) in these productions). John Weaver also incorporated contemporary references like the "South Sea Bubble Scandal" into the 1721 production "The Magician; or Harlequin a Director".

In 1723 Colly Cibber staged "Harlequin Dr. Faustus", based on the legend of Faust, at the "Drury Lane Theatre". The popularity for this new form of entertainment demanded more of the Drury lane pantomimes with better spectacles being introduced to keep the public happy. New effects were introduced like fire eating Dragons and a pair of disembodied legs that danced around the stage. A month later John Rich staged his own version at his own theatre ("Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre") with even better effects and thus the rivalry continued between the two theatres.

In 1725 John Rich and John Weaver produced "Harlequin a Sorcerer, with the Loves of Plato and Proserpine" which included earthquakes fires and erupting volcanoes.

In 1727 Rich staged John Gray's (1685 - 1732) "The Beggar’s Opera" making enough money to build a new theatre in London. In 1732 John Rich moved out of the "Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre" to the newly built larger theatre "The Covent Garden Theatre" or "Theatre Royal" as it was known at the time, on land leased from the Duke of Bedford. Here he pioneered many new Pantomimes as well as shows like "Way of the World" (written in 1700) by William Congreve (1670-1729), his opening production at the Royal. It was also here that Peg Woffington (c1714- 1760) appeared as a man in "The Constant Couple" by George Farquhar (1678-1707) in 1740 scandalising the whole of London with her performance. Peg was an English actress and mistress of David Garrick (Actor / Owner of the Drury lane theatre from 1747) she was celebrated in a book by Charles Reade she was, according to the Penguin dictionary of the theatre, "an effective comedienne with a good figure which enhanced her appeal in breeches parts, among which was one of her most famous roles, Sir Harry Wildair. She retired from acting in 1757". In those days some theatres didn't charge for the first act of a show, you only paid if you stayed for the rest of the performance, so a pantomime would get the audience interested in the rest of the show and would hopefully make the audience stay for the main feature. This disconnected production of "Mythological" (Play) and "Harlequinade" (Pantomime) sometimes ran concurrently often confusing audiences who lost the plot as the production moved from one story to another and back again. Eventually the two parts were separated and the opening or Mythological story became the opening with the Harlequinade ending the evening’s entertainment. Some members of the audience only arrived for the second half of the production while theatres would often return ticket money to those who left before the Harlequinade had started. In 1749 at the Haymarket Theatre the pantomime was used as a first act for a production of "The Beggars Opera" (by Jon Gay See above).

In 1731 the "Dame" was created. Because many of the parts had to be played by men in the early theatre and the Tudor's had banned women from appearing on stage all the characters had been played by men. In 1731 the first real Dame was created by Harper who played the Cook in Dick Whittington.

In 1750 in an attempt to get better audiences than John Rich, Colly Cibber devised "Queen Mab", which was the same format as the original pantomimes but this time he added speech with actor Henry Woodward playing the role of Harlequin. The production of "Queen Mab" was an instant success and started the trend for spoken pantomimes. As part of this rivalry in 1753 Garrick included a real waterfall on the Drury Lane stage to try and outdo John Rich.

In 1756 David Garrick, had taken over as owner of the "Drury Lane theatre". He staged "A Christmas Gambol" a sort of Harlequin versus Shakespeare. It included for the first time a specially written song which is still remembered today; --

"Come cheer up, me lads, 'tis to glory we steer to add something more to this wonderful year. To Honor we call you, not press you like slaves,

Page 4: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

For who are so Free as the sons of the waves? "Heart of oak are our ships, Heart of oak our are men (or "Jolly Tars are our men") , We always are ready, Steady, boys, steady, We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again!".

This was written by David Garrick as a tribute to the sailors who were fighting in the war with France at the time.

During this time the increasing rivalry between the two theatre's meant that more impressive effects were needed to attract audiences and trap doors, smoke effects, moving scenery, pulleys etc. were again added to the format of the productions.

In 1781 the first Pantomime to link both the "Mythological" (Play) and "Harlequinade" (Pantomime) was staged at the Drury Lane theatre by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (Writer of "The Rivals") who had taken over from Garrick as owner of the theatre. The production "Robinson Crusoe; or Harlequin Man Friday" used Harlequinade characters in the opening. The show ran for 38 nights (A long run in the 1700's) and had Pantaloon tormenting Man Friday on the island. Robinson Crusoe, Pierrot and Pantaloon eventually join together to rescue Man Friday from the local cannibals. This new format continued with a slight change in characters with Harlequin and Columbine becoming the hero and heroine of the show. Another addition was the introduction of a chase scene to the script, an essential part of any pantomime at the time where Harlequin would run from some monster or the townsfolk for some reason.

By the 1790's the introduction of a "Star Name" had been brought into the show to increase the publicity for the production. This person may not have any connection with the theatre but has what is now termed as "Box office appeal". They were usually introduced into the pantomime as a speciality act. An example of this is the well-known boxer Mendoza, who in the pantomime sparred with his partner Humphreys during the show. The success of his appearance in London led to him repeating the role later in Birmingham when he sparred with Man Friday in "Robinson Crusoe, or Friday turned Boxer" in 1791. Another example is the 'Roller skating act on an oil cloth' that took place during "The House that Jack Built" in 1824 at Covent Garden.

In 1794 Joseph Grimaldi (.b. London in 1778 .d. 1837) joined the cast of the Drury Lane pantomime company playing "Dumb" parts. But after a falling out with the company he left to join "The Covent Garden Theatre" where he developed his comic, singing & acrobatic skills. He had come from a family of Italian Clowns and was ideally cast as the "Harlequin" character, playing it as a white-faced clown with crescent shaped patches on his face and baggy trousers. During these shows in 1806 Grimaldi made his name playing the part of Squire Bugle in "Harlequin and Mother Goose; or the Golden Egg" one of the modern pantomime stories. He also went on to play the part of "Mother Goose" in later versions of the show. Grimaldi and the clown character he portrayed continued as "Joey" until his retirement in 1823 /4. Grimaldi did however make one final appearance in 1828 when he was carried on stage in a chair to do his last performance seated. Grimaldi also invented many routines including "The String of Sausages" used more in Punch and Judy, hit songs like "Tippety Witchet"(1810) and "Hot Codlins" (1819) which were later sung by other clowns in other pantomimes. He also invented the catchphrase "Here we are again" ("Here we are again, Happy as can be, all good friends in pleasant company" -Song)Grimaldi was not however the inventor of the Harlequin costume of Diamond shaped patches and a funny hat, this was designed for James Byrne in 1800 at the Drury Lane theatre. Byrne also invented the "Cheat" or way of speaking without saying anything. He would use his Slapstick to point to various colours on his costume. These would represent emotions, Yellow for Jealousy, Blue for Love, Scarlet for Anger, and Mauve for faithfulness. The colour black represented invisibility. If he pointed to this diamond, he became invisible to all the other characters on stage.

In 1804 the Sadler's Wells theatre built the stage so it could be flooded for sea scenes etc.

The first known "Principle boy" appeared in Pantomime in the production of "Harlequin and Fortunio" in 1815. Unfortunately, the name of the actress is unknown.

In 1829 Covent Garden installed a huge water tank so it could have a real waterfall on stage for "Jack in the Box".

In 1831 Joseph Grimaldi the famous clown decided to take pantomime to the Americans with “Mother Goose”, however it was unsuccessful in its run in New York. Forty years later a new version of “Humpty Dumpty” was more successful in America. In 1893 a London production of “Cinderella” did transfer successfully to Broadway.

In 1839 Madame Vestris (Lucy Elizabeth Bartolozzi -1797- 1856 - Actress and singer who became the first London Female theatre Manager in 1830) and J.R. Planché took over the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden and added an "Extravaganza" to the production making the Harlequinade a less important part of the production. They also used the "Diorama", this was a long backcloth that was wrapped onto two rollers and had a continuous scene painted on it. This would then be moved from one roller to another giving the impression of a moving scene (Used in film to add a moving background to a stationary horse or car in early productions). In 1823 the Drury lane theatre had paid £1,380 for such a diorama scene. In 1831 Scenic painter Clarkson Stanfield was sent to Venice to paint a realistic Diorama for "Harlequin and Little Thumb". In 1823 for the production of "Harlequin and Poor Robin" at the Covent garden theatre, an aerial Diorama was used (Going from the stage to the fly bars) to simulate the flight of a hot air balloon from London to Paris conveying Pantaloon and the Clown.

In 1849 William Beverley (One of the great set designers) devised an effect of a palm tree losing all its leaves to reveal six fairies holding jewels for the production "Island of Jewels at the Lyceum theatre, London.

Since 1737 the Licencing Act permitted only two official theatres that were allowed to have speaking shows, these were the Drury Lane and Covent Garden theatres. In 1843 the act was repealed (Replaced by the Theatre Regulations Act) allowing other theatres to stage Pantomimes. The new act did introduce Censorship which meant that from 1851 all plays and Pantomimes had to have their script approved by the Lord Chamberlain's office.

In 1852 the Drury Lane theatre produced "Harlequin Hudibras; or Old Dame Durden and the Droll Days of the Merry Monarch" and "Babes in the Wood" both written by Edward Blanchard (1820 - 1889). This was the start of about 100 scripts he had a hand in as exclusive writer at the theatre. As he had a monopoly on scripts Blanchard (Also known as "The Prince of Openings" or "The Hero of a Hundred Pantomimes") decided to make some changes. Up till then the opening which was in Rhyming couplets but had no moral tale, was changed to the moral of the Pantomime, still in Rhyme as it is today. In 1883 after much soul searching, Edward who was always a traditionalist, dropped the role of Harlequinade a part all pantomimes had included up until then but was now becoming old fashioned and with the death of Grimaldi in 1837 no one played the part right. In the 1883 production of Cinderella at Drury Lane Harlequin was no more.

In 1855 Burlesque was to enter the world of Pantomime when Mark Lemon (the First editor of PUNCH) at the Adelphi Theatre introduced this form of show to the Pantomime format. It was H.J. Byron (1834-1884) Actor, Playwright and Theatre Manager. He started life as a Medical Student, he started to learn the Law before joining the theatre. He wrote may straight plays, extravaganzas and Pantomimes. He was however more famous for the Burlesque shows he wrote. It was Byron who introduced the character of Widow Twankey in 1856 for the panto "Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp; or the Genie of the Ring". In 1860 he created Buttons for "Cinderella; or The Lover, the Lackey, and the Little Glass Slipper", in which he also introduced the Ugly Sisters.

1866 W.S. Gilbert's produced his only attempt at Pantomime writing "Harlequin Cock Robin and Jenny Wren; or Fortunes and the Water of Life, The Three Bears, The Three Gifts, The Three Wishes and The Little Man Woo'd the Little Maid". The show had the Vokes family entertainers in the cast.

In 1879 Augustus Harris took over the Drury Lane theatre and also changed the format of Pantomime. The first of this new type of show was the story of "Bluebeard" at the Grecian Theatre (London) in 1871 when G.H. Macdermott (1845 - 1901) became the first Music Hall Star to appear in a Pantomime. His second pantomime "Mother Goose" that changed the face of panto forever. He got rid of the actor format of the early days and put in their place artists from the Music halls to play the main parts and thus they became the "feature" of the pantomime. These artists would bring with them their own speciality acts which they would perform, either as part of the story or in front of the tabs (Curtains) during a scene change. Harris also insisted on elaborate scenes, some of which took a long time to

Page 6: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

change giving the "Music hall" artists like Marie Lloyd, Little Titch, Vesta Tilly and Dan Leno time to do a song and tell a few stories.

In 1902 Arthur Collins (1863 - 1932) who had taken over from Augustus Harris at Drury lane (After he had died) brought in J Hickory Wood to write the pantomimes for the theatre. This would be the best thing he could have done as Wood was to become the father of the modern stories as most of the books (basic format of the story) for the modern Pantomimes are based on his original scripts, the first of these was "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" in 1900, followed by "Beauty and the Beast", performed in December 1902. J Hickery Wood also changed the format of the Rhyming couplets to the main immortal characters the Good Fairy and the Demon King (or Villain).

With all these changes being made in London it is easy to forget theatres in other towns. Manchester held its first Pantomime in 1743 while Birmingham had to wait until 1840 for its first taste. In the 1870's Manchester became more important as a pantomime centre as "Pantomime Trains" would run from there to the Grand theatre Leeds and other towns in the north. With other theatres being allowed to stage shows some of the London theatres started to re-think the Christmas show. In 1920 the Drury Lane theatre put on "The Garden of Allah" a play by Robert Hitchens. For the next few years until 1929 they failed to stage the traditional Christmas Pantomime, again stopping panto until 1934.

In 1942 the young Princess Elizabeth (Now the Queen) and her sister Margaret played "Florizol" (Elizabeth) and "Cinderella" in a private production of the pantomime at Windsor Castle.

In 1956 the London Palladium started its own tradition with a man playing principle boy in "Aladdin" it was comedian Norman Wisdom who was cast as the hero. From then on the main character was always a man until 1971's Aladdin when singer Cilla Black played principle boy reversing the tradition with a few exceptions women have played the part ever since.

In the 1960's and 70's celebrities from the world of Television and Radio took over the comic roles and leading parts in the pantomime. As Radio and Television were taking over the entertainment business, it was now a "Named" artist that drew the crowds to see shows in the theatre. Managers found themselves increasingly relying on the profits from the pantomime to see them through the rest of the year. It was now essential for the Christmas show to be a success. By the 1990's another change happened. The introduction of "Australian Soap star's" to the cast. With the popularity of "Neighbours" and "Home and away" on British Television many of the stars of the programme decided to work over in the Uk and were given the chance to star in Pantomimes over the Christmas period. However as many of them had never seen Pantomime and even fewer of them understood the format or the Pantomime jokes they were usually window dressing to bring in the paying public and not to make the panto a success, for this the old stagers like Danny La Rue and John Inman were brought back to show them how it was done.

In 1983 the National Theatre did its only pantomime. It was not a success and so the experiment was abandoned.

By 1984 West End Pantomime was in a terminal decline with only one Pantomime playing. In 1992 not one Panto was playing in London's West end.

In 1992 Pantomimes were made part of the National Curriculum when John Morley's "Dick Whittington" was set for study in English that year.

##########################################The 1990's also saw a number of very rude pantomimes the most notable of these is "Sinderella" written and starring Jim Davidson and includes naughty language and ladies in very little clothing. Because of the content of the show these were usually put on after the Christmas period so that the children did not confuse the nature of the show. Some of what are now called Pantomimes are nothing but Christmas shows or stories, "Peter Pan" (book 1904), "Alice in Wonderland" (book 1865), "Treasure Island" (book 1883), "The Windmill man", & "Rainbow Ends" to name but a few. With star names they have become part of the cycle of shows performed in theatres. During 1996 the pantomime has become more popular than ever with theatre's playing to 90% audiences for all their performances. But there have been changes. Many

theatres are unable to do "Cinderella" as it is considered to be the most costly of the formats, while "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has become politically incorrect and has been banned by many city theatres as the show exploits small people or "Vertically challenged actors". Advances in medicine also has stopped Snow White as there are not as many small actors in the business to take the role of 7 Vertically challenged people. New rules for minors (Children) also limits the time they are allowed on stage thus the dancers are getting less and less in each show as more and more are needed to complete the run at the theatre. In finishing this look at the history of Pantomime I will remind you that if it wasn't for Danny Ross in 1973 putting on a brilliant show in Crewe, I would not have spent the next 30 years visiting the theatre or being interested enough to find out about its history. For me the theatre experience starts with Pantomime and ends with Pantomime as I am aged over 40 I still go to see at least one show each year, I hope you do the same. Who said that......? I don't know! Where is he?

He's behind you. Recently the Pantomimes around the country have been recognised in their own awards night the “Great British Pantomime Awards”. Started in 2016 by Samuel Munday-Webb and Daniel Dawson the competition recognises the best in pantomimes 25 categories from Dame to leading actor to best productions it celebrates the world of Pantomime like the Olivier awards celebrate theatre. The first awards were given out in 2017 at the London Theatre Café in front of 60 people with the following year’s awards at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London in front of 1,000 and hosted by Christopher Biggins. The judges are picked from a number of professionals past and present to give a critique of the productions they see plus mark each performance which are then considered by a post season conference to decide the awards for that year. The judges intend to see every production over 20 days of performance in theatres with a capacity over 450 seats.

__________________________________________________________________________________THE ORIGINAL STORY

__________________________________________________________________________________ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMPBased on one of the Queen Scheherezade stories in the book of "1001 Arabian nights, Aladdin and the other stories". The book was first translated between 1704 and 1717 in a volume called "The Book of the Thousand and one nights". Aladdin was first performed as a pantomime in 1788 at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden in London with Carlo Delpini playing Pierrot. The production in the early days was also subtitled as "Harlequin and the Flying Palace". In 1813 the famous clown Joseph Grimaldi (1778- 1837) appeared in the role of Kasrac a dumb slave with Mrs Charles Kemble as "Aladdin" again at the theatre in Covent Garden. This version also introduced us to an anonymous "African Magician" who would later become the character Abanazar. At this time the popularity of China and everything to do with China (Including the Willow pattern plate) was at its greatest. To cash in on this the Pantomime script writers re located the story to China from the Arabian desert and introduced Chinese names for the cast. Before 1861 Aladdin's mother was called the "Widow Ching Mustapha" a mixture of Arabic and Chinese culture. The story we use today is based on the original pantomime format by H.J. Byron called "Aladdin and his wonderful Scamp" which was produced at the Strand in 1861. It was in this production that he first gave the name of "Twankey" to Aladdin's mother. The name Twankey was one of Mr Byron's puns and came from the Chinese port famous in the tea trade and a type of Chinese Green leaf tea popular in the United Kingdom at the time. After 1861 other characters were added to the story including "Wishee" and "Washee"(1896 Dan Leno as Wishee Washee in the Drury Lane production), Widow Twankey's other sons, who in the story would help their mother to run a Chinese laundry which she now owned. In the 1800's many of the Chinese who had come over to this country, opened "Wash houses" all over the Country. Over the years Aladdin has become an unlucky pantomime as various productions have had problems with the show. John Counsell at the Theatre Royal Windsor tells of an actor playing the part of the Genie who made his entrance through a trap door staggered a moment then fell back into the hole left by the trap door. He damaged his knee and was off for the rest of the season. John also had a bad run in 1979 or 1980 when the show was preceded by the death of two of the cast members and the designer had a nervous breakdown while the theatre management embezzled money from the production. Derek Salberg of the Grand theatre, Wolverhampton told us that the magician Donald Stewart disappeared down a trap which should have been closed while he was playing the part of Abanazar.

Despite all these warnings by the start of 2000 Aladdin had become the most popular Pantomime on the theatre circuit pushing Snow White into Second place and Cinderella into third (Mainly because of the three Cinderella is the most expensive to produce).

STORY Aladdin is the poor lazy son of a washer woman (Widow Twankey). He persuaded by his Uncle Abanaza to go into a magical cave where he will find a lamp that the Uncle wants. What Abanaza fails to tell Aladdin is that the lamp holds a Genie who can grant three wishes to the person who rub’s the lap and releases him from his imprisonment. Aladdin is given a magic ring which when rubbed brings up the Slave of the ring who tells him that the lamp holds a powerful Gene and when Aladdin decides to keep the lamp for himself the Uncle seals the cave hoping that Aladdin will die. The Gene helps Aladdin to escape and also gives him wealth so that he can marry the Princess who he has briefly seen in the village earlier. The Princess is conned into selling the lamp to Uncle Abanaza posing as an old lamp seller (Old Lamps for New). He then transports the castle of Aladdin to Africa and it is only through tricking the Uncle that Aladdin wins back the lamp and wins the day.CAST Incl; Aladdin, Widow Twankey, Wishee (Aladdin's Brother), Washee (Aladdin's Brother), Uncle Abanaza, Genie of the Lamp, Slave of the Ring, Princess Badroulboudor & the Emperor.

ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES This was, as you may know one of the Arabian Nights stories. It was very popular in the late 1800's with productions at Drury Lane in 1886 and 1898. One performance season at the Alexandra theatre finished in April 1926

BABES IN THE WOOD This is a home-grown story which first came to light in the 15th Century and first appeared in print in 1595 under the title "The Children in the Wood; or the Norfolk Gentleman's Last Will and Testament". The tale is set in the Waylands wood in Norfolk, where the master of Wayland hall died and left his little son and daughter to the care of his wife's brother. The children were to inherit the master’s wealth but if they both died before the Uncle, then he would inherit all the money originally left to the boy and girl. After twelve months the wicked uncle hired two ruffians to kill the children. However, one of the two assassins decided not to kill the children and killed his partner to stop him from fulfilling the contract. He then took the children into the wood and left them there. During the night the two children died of the cold and were covered over with leaves by the "Robin Redbreast". The story then tells us that the wicked Uncle suffered the wrath of God or just bad luck as both his own sons died soon after, his barn burnt down to the ground, his cattle all died and he was thrown in gaol where he died. It is said that the ghosts of the "Babes" still stalk the woodland area of Norfolk where they died. The bit about the Robin redbreast comes from Webster's White Devil, V, i Published in 1612:

Call for the robin-red-breast and the wren, Since o're shady groves they hover, And with leaves and flowers do cover the friendless bodies of unburied men.

This refers to the death of Jesus and the burying of the body. It is said that while the robin was covering the body it accidentally rubbed some of Jesus's blood on its breast and this is why all robins have red breasts. In the book "Percy's Reliques" there appears the Ballad of the "Children of the Wood" by Robert Tarrington which includes the lines ;-

No burial this pretty pair of any man receives, Till Robin-red-breast piously did cover them with leaves.

An old wives’ tale also says that Robins will not leave any kind of body uncovered. The later versions of the tale are probably connected to the story about the little Princes who were murdered in the Tower during the reign of Richard the third. The real story from Norfolk involved two orphan children, who were left in the charge of their wicked Uncle, who decided to have them murdered so that he could gain their fathers rather large inheritance.

One of the murderers who confessed to the killings was arrested as a Highwayman while the other suffered the loss of his own two sons and lost his farm and all his money. In 1793 "The Children in the Wood" was staged at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and told the sad story of the Babes who died. In 1827 "Harlequin and Cock Robin; or the Babes in the Wood" was staged at the Drury Lane theatre again keeping the sad ending. In 1867 again at Covent Garden "Robin Hood and his merry men" were added to the story finding the children covered in leaves after falling asleep having been lured to the forest by the wicked robbers. Because of the popularity of the Tv Series with Richard Green as Robin Hood the pantomime became more popular in this form and was often re titled "Robin Hood" to cash in on the programme. Some versions including one at the Lyceum theatre in Crewe in 1975/6 included another story, that of Hansel and Gretal where the two children find a house made of sweets or Gingerbread, after all in Panto land anything can happen. STORY The Babes are covered in leaves when they are out in the woods and fall asleep after being tricked into the woods by wicked robbers. When they wake up they find themselves lost and go looking for a way home. They are rescued by the hero Robin Hood and his merry men.

BLUEBEARD This comes from France and was based on the notorious "Marshal of France" who murdered six of his seven wives before being executed himself. The story appeared in Charles Perrault's (.b. 12 Jan 1628 .d.16 May 1703) "Contes du Temps" published in 1697. The story goes like this. Bluebeard "Marshal of France" went on a journey leaving his new wife alone in the castle. Before he leaves her he gives her the keys and tells her that she may go where she wants within the building except one room which is always kept locked. Telling a woman not to do something usually doesn't mean anything and in this case, curiosity got the better of his wife and she decided to open the room to see what all the fuss is about. When the door open’s she finds inside the bodies of all seven previous wives of "Bluebeard". When the "Marshal of France" returns he finds a spot of blood on the key to his private room and decides to chop off his new wife's head to stop her from telling about her discovery. At this moment in time her two brothers rush in and kill "Bluebeard". Some say that this is just a story and that the character is based on the stories about Gilles de Rais or even our own King of England Henry the Eighth and his six wives. The story was translated and was first performed in this country in 1791 at Covent Garden in London. Like Aladdin this is considered to be an unlucky pantomime. In 1871 H.J. Byron's company staged a production of Bluebeard for Mr Augustus Harris Snr at Covent Garden, his first pantomime at the theatre. In 1879 Augustus Harris Jnr also chose this production for his first panto at his theatre in Drury lane. In 1902 Augustus Harris Jnr revived the format with a production by the company owned by Hickory J Wood. This version had performances by Dan Leno and his Pantomime partner Herbert Campbell. In 1905 at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham a young lady called Dorothy Ward made her first pantomime appearance. She was later to become one of the most well-known principle boys in the business. This Pantomime is hardly ever seen as it lost its popularity in the 1950's.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST In the 1800's this was a popular pantomime but now is rarely seen in this format as it is now usually found in play format by Nicholas Stuart Gray or more recently as the 1991 film version by Walt Disney productions. The story first appeared in 1550 in the book by Straparola called "Piacevoli Notti". It was re written in 1757 by the French writer Mme. deprince de Beaumont (Mme. Marie Leprince de Beaumont). This version was then turned into an opera by André Grétry (.b.11 Feb 1741.d. 24 Sept 1813) in 1771 called "Zémire et Azor". In 1900 J Hickory Wood was asked by Arthur Collins (1863 - 1932) who ran the Theatre Royal Drury lane to write the annual pantomime for the theatre. The first story he chose was "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" a combination of the two stories, which was produced for the 1900 pantomime, followed in December 1902 by "Beauty and the Beast". Various Touring companies performed the story including in 1906 the H B Levy and J S Cardwell’s Grand Juvenile Musical Company with Wee Georgie Wood in the cast. In 1910 Fred Granville’s company made the tour with Bert Grapho’s company touring with Beauty and the Beast from 1916 till 1924.

The Lyceum Theatre, London, chose the story in 1928 & 1937 with Jill Esmond as Prince Hal (Principle Boy) and 1962 with Nat (Rubber Neck) Jackley as Dame. In 1945 Jean Cocteau produced a film of the story called “La Belle et la Bete” and in 1991 Walt Disney productions produced an animated version of the story that has revived interest in the story of “Beauty and the Beast” both as a play, Musical and Pantomime.

STORY The original story is about a father who loses his way and finds shelter in a castle owned by a noble beast. However, the man steals something owned by the Beast to take to his daughter Beauty. The Beast however catches him and decides to kill him in punishment for betraying his hospitality. The father is spared on the condition that one of his three daughters must take his place by agreeing to stay with the beast. Beauty honours the contract her father had made and agrees to live in the castle where she is treated like a Princess. The Beast asks her to marry him but she is reluctant and refuses. However the father becomes ill with worry and the Beast agrees to let Beauty go to see her father on condition that she returns when her father gets better. Both the Beast and Beauty discover that they miss each other and that Beauty loves the beast so much that he turns into the handsome Prince of her dreams.

Beauty saves the life of her father by agreeing to live with "The Beast". The beast wonders why beauty stays with him out of loyalty to her father. The beast finally turns into a handsome Prince who marries Beauty and they live happily ever after.

BO- PEEP (Little Bo Peep) Based on the nursery Rhyme of the same name. This pantomime not only went under the title of Little Bo Peep but also as part of other stories "Little Bo Peep, Little Boy Blue and the Little Old Woman who lived in a Shoe" (1881 Covent Garden), "Little Bo-Peep, Little Red Riding Hood & Hop O'my Thumb" (1894). In 1894 Marie Lloyd played Little Boy Blue at the Shakespeare theatre Liverpool.

CINDERELLA Often thought to have been created by Frenchman Charles Perrault in 1697 with his story "Contes de ma mère l'oye" it has become the most popular pantomime on the British stage after it was translated into English by Robert Samber in 1729. There have been hundreds of versions of the story making it impossible to discover who created the story we now know on the English stage. It is possible it started life as an East German story in the 16th Century from which Perrault probably used it as the basis for his story. Another suggestion is that it started life in China about AD850, the story first written down by Tuan Ch'eng-shih and was translated by Arthur Waley. The story had a magic fish instead of the fairy godmother and Gold (not Glass) slipper. . In a Swedish version, Cinderella was helped by an Ox rather than a Fairy. While in an earlier version the Ugly Sisters cut off their toes to fit into the slipper. The fact that Cinderella wore a Glass or Silver slipper came from a miss-translation of the Perrault story, in the original the shoes were described as "Pantoufle de Vair" however when it was translated the words changed to "Pantoufle de Verre" instead of the words for "Fur shoes". In 1804 Drury Lane Pantomime was Cinderella. it was discribes as "A new Grand Allegorical Pantomime Spectacle". In 1809 it was again at the Lyceum being described as "The Celebrated Pantomime Fairy Tale". The 1809 production at the Lyceum in London included the Ugly sisters being served by a servant called "Pedro" originally played by Joseph Grimaldi. At this time there were no Baron or Baroness characters. The part of the fairy was entrusted to the character "Venus" who performed the transformation sequence. By 1820 Gioacchino Rossini's (.b. 1792 .d. 1868) "La Cenerentola" (written in 1807) was performed at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, England. This opera performance was the first in the Uk and included the characters Don Magnifico, Baron Monte Fiascone (Baron Hardup in the Panto), his daughters Clorinda and Thisbe, & their Step Sister Angelina, known as Cenerentola (Cinderella), Don Ramiro, Prince of Solerno (The Prince) Alidoro, his tutor and Dandini his Valet (Dandini). On the 3 April 1820 the Opera "La Cenerentola" had changed to the Pantomime "Harlequin and Cinderella; or the Little Glass Slipper" at Covent Garden with Grimaldi as The Baroness (Dame) the first time a dame had been used in this pantomime. Harlequin and Cinderella" the for runner of the modern version. The production has a mixture of the modern characters and the traditional Harlequin names (See Harlequinade)

The cast was (Modern Name); - Finetta became Columbine (Cinderella), Prince Aledore became Harlequin (The Prince), Baron Pomposini became Pantaloon (Baron Hardup), The Baroness became the Clown (Grimaldi). This version did for the first time introduce the Fairy into the story. In 1826 "The Surrey" did a Cinderella ballet, while in 1830 in Covent Garden they produced a Comic Opera based on the music of "La Cenerentola" and included the characters "Thisbe & Clorinda" the Ugly Sisters, "Pedro" the Baron's servant (The name first used in 1804) and a Prince called "Felix". For the next 30 years until 1860 the production was called "The Fairy Queen and the Glass Slipper". In 1860 H.J. Byron wrote a pantomime called "Cinderella or the Lover, the Lackey and the Little Glass Slipper" and was first performed at the "Royal Strand" theatre where it was billed as a "Fairy Burlesque Extravaganza". This show gave us the names "Buttoni" (Buttons) and the nasty sisters were named "Ugly". In 1864, E..L. Blanchard wrote "Cinderella" for the Covent Garden theatre. Ellaline Terriss (Later Lady Seymour Hicks) appeared in what has been described as the best version of the tale. It was written by Oscar Barrett and had music, dance and lots of colour. In 1880 the Broker's men were introduced to the show in Sunderland as a "Chorus of Broker's Men". By 1883 the Drury lane theatre had introduced them to their version of the pantomime.1958 saw probably the most ambitious version of the Pantomime at the Coliseum theatre London. Produced by Freddie Carpenter for Harold Fielding the cast included Tommy Steele as Buttons, Dana ("All Kinds of Everything") as Cinderella, Jimmy Edwards as King, Kenneth Williams as an Ugly Sister with the production designed by Loudon Sainthill. The following year 1959 Tommy went to the London Palladium with the show. A few cast changes and the show was a great success with its soundtrack being released on record. CINDERELLA 1959 1.

Another tradition was broken at the London Palladium when Tudor Davies a successful Director and Choreographer whose first appearance in Pantomime was as a Green Bean in “Jack and the Beanstalk” in Bradford, appeared at the Palladium in Cinderella as Dandini a role that is traditionally played by a Girl. By 1976 Brian Forbes decided to make the "Slipper and the rose" for the big screen starring Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven as Cinderella, continuing the success of the story of a poor girl who falls in love with a Prince and eventually marries him. In 1878 a Scottish version of Cinderella was produced, called "Rashin Coatie" in which the heroine is helped by a magical "Little Red Calf". The magical calf allows Cinderella to appear in Church in her very best clothes (Supplied by the Calf) for three times instead of her usual tatty cloak and rushes. While in Church she is spotted by the Prince who decides he would like to marry her.

DICK WHITTINGTON It is possible that the pantomime story is based on ancient folk law from Persia. Keis the son of a poor widow left Persia to go to India along with his cat. When he arrived, he found the Royal palace

Page 12: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

swarming with mice. men had to be employed by the Indian King to keep the rodents away from the royal meals, so when Keis produced the cat he was showered with gifts when the mice were made to disappear in quick time from the palace. Keis returned to Persia with his wealth and he and his family moved to an Island in the Persian Gulf, which was named after him. An Italian version of this story was published in 1483 and was probably linked to our English merchant Richard Whittington to keep the folk story alive. The main person in the story is based on a real character Dick Whittington, the third son of Sir William Whittington who lived in Pauntley, Gloucestershire. The real Dick Whittington, was Lord Mayor of London in 1398 (1397-1398) (Taking over from Adam Banne), 1406 (1406-1407), & 1419 (1419-1420), and really did marry an Alice Fitzwaryn daughter of Sir Ovo (or Ivo) Fitzwaryn a rich merchant or Knight. By the time of his death in 1423 Dick Whittington had enough money to donate large sums of gold to King Henry IV and to Henry V to help with the war against France. The remainder of his money after he died went to worthy causes, amongst them Highgate College and Hospital. Money was also used to set up some almshouses.Where the Cat originated from is uncertain as the real Mayor of London did not own a cat. It could have been one of two suggestions. The first is that the cat refereed to is the name of a ship or the crest of a ship trading with Morocco or the name given to the coal ships (called Cat's). The other suggestion is that when Robert Elstrache (or Renold Elstracke) did an engraving of Dick Whittington sometime in the 1620's or 1630's, he was originally going to have the Lord Mayor resting his hand on a Skull but because his publishers thought this would offend the public he substituted a cat into the picture for his second version of the print. One twist in the tale is that when Dick Whittington was buried it is thought that he was buried with a cat. When his grave in the St Michael Royal Collage, church yard was destroyed in the great fire of 1666 the remains were re buried. In 1940 during the post war reconstruction the tomb was opened and a cat was found inside with Dick Whittington's body. However, by 1949 all trace of the grave had disappeared. In Highgate at the “Whittington and Cat” public house a mummified cat was found under the floorboards, this is said to have been the original "Cat" of the story. Also on Highgate hill the actor Donald Bisset placed a statue of Dick Whittington and his cat there in 1964.The earliest reference to the story of Dick Whittington and his cat are from the 8th February 1605 when a play called "The History of Richard Whittington, of his lowe birthe, his great Fortune, as yt was played by the Prynces Servants" (The Prynces Servants were the actors patronised by Prince Harry), was registered at Stationer's Hall for copyright purposes. Also in 1605 the play "Eastward Hoe!" by Ben Johnson, George Chapman & John Marston referrers to Dick with the following words spoken by Touchstone while praising his new son in law, Golding ;-

"Worshipfull sonne! I cannot containe my selfe, I must telle thee; I hopeto see thee one o' the monuments of our city, and recon'd among her worthies, to be remembred the same day wit the Lady Ramsey and grave Gresham, when the famous fable of Whittington and his pusse shalbe forgotten, and thou and thy actes become the posies for hospitals; when thy name shall be written upon conduits..." 1606 Thomas Heywood wrote in his play "If you know not me, you know nobody"; -

DEAN NOWELL This is Sir Richard Whittington, Three Times Mayor, sonne to a knight and prentice to a mercer, Began the library of Grey-Friars in London, and his exectors after him did build Whittington Colledge, thirteen Alms-houses for poore men, repair'd S. Bartholomewes, in Smithfield, Glased the Guildhall, and built Newgate.

HOBSON Bones of men, then I have heard lies; for I have heard he was a scullion, and rais'd himself by venture of a cat.

NOWELL They did the more wrong to the gentleman. 16 July 1606 saw the publication of "The vertuos lyfe and memorable death of Sir Richard Whittington, mercer, sometyme Lord Maiour of the honourable Cittie of London" which again told the story of his poor upbringing and growth into Mayor. In 1641 a song was written by Richard Johnson called "A Song of Sir Richard Whittington, who by strange fortunes came to bee thrice Lord Mayor of London; With his bountiful gifts and liberality given this honourable city (To the tune of "Dainty come thou to me"), it told part of the story we now use in the pantomime scripts. The bells ringing to tell Dick to return to London came from the "Oranges and Lemons" rhyme re written by Johnson in 1656 when the bells tell our hero to "Turn again, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London". In a story by Thomas Heywood the playwright, he says that Whittington gets as far as Bun Hill before he hears the sound of Bow Bells.Many references have been made to the Lord Mayor of London over the years in the 1450's a book called "A little book of English policy" was published in it were these lines.

And, in worship, now I think I on Sun of merchantry, Richard Whittington, that loadstar and

chief chosen flower what hath by him our England of honour? And what profit had been of his riches? and yet (he) lasteth daily in worthiness, that pen and paper may not me suffice, him to describe, so high was he of price; Above merchants to set him one of the best; I can no more, but God have him rest.

In the story he travelled to London where he found shelter in Sir Fitzwaryn's house. While in his service Sir Fitzwaryn allowed each of his servants to send part of his cargo to Barbary where they could make a profit. Dick according to the story sent his cat. Dick ran away after he was ill-treated below stairs only to return after the bells of Bow seemed to ring "Turn again Whittington, Thrice Lord Mayor of London". On his return he found that the cat had been purchased by his old master for a vast sum of money to the King of Barbary who was plagued by rats thus making Dick's fortune. He then has enough money to marry Alice, Sir Fitzwaryn's daughter.The first reference to a show about the story is by Samuel Pepys on the 21 September 1668 when he saw a puppet show at Michaelmas Fair at Southwak. In 1731 another performance was made at Southwak Fair but it was on the 26 December 1814 that it was first performed under the title of "Pantomime" in Covent Garden.

GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS This was one of the tales written by D''Ulnois who also wrote stories called "The White Cat", and "The Yellow Dwarf". The first Pantomime version of this story in England appeared at "Her Majesty's Theatre" in 1852 entitled "Little Silver Hair; or Harlequin and the Three Bears". A few years later it again appeared this time under the title "The Fair One with the Golden Locks" In 1866-7 W.S. Gilbert (Of Gilbert & Sullivan fame) produced the pantomime with the title "Harlequin and Cock Robin and Jenny Wren; or Fortunat and the Waters of Life, The Three Bears, The three Gifts, The Three Wishes and the little man who wooed a little Maid" (A Catchy title). It took him four days to write and he was paid £60 by E.T. Smith who put it on at the Lyceum Theatre London the temporary home of the Drury Lane companyThe modern version is more likely to have been based on the Howard & Wyndham story which is about the rivalry between two circus owners one evil and one good.

GOODY TWO SHOES Based on the story by Oliver Goldsmith written in 1765 for the publisher John Newbery (1713-1767) it was adapted by E.L. Blanchard in 1862 for the Christmas pantomime at the "Drury Lane Theatre " entitled "Little Goody Two Shoes ; or Harlequin and Cock Robin".

HUMPTY DUMPTY Based on the nursery rhyme written in the Plantagenet period "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, All the Kings horses and all the Kings men, couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again"It was a popular production in the late 1800's and in its later performances the story was based on a production in 1903 written by Hickory Wood. The 1903 production also saw the last performance by Dan Leno and Herbert Campbell. In 1926 a production starring Wee Georgie Wood as Humpty Dumpty went to Canada from the Birmingham Theatre Royal. RHYME Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the Kings horses and all the King's men couldn't put Humpty together again.

JACK AND JILL Based on the nursery rhyme. The earliest production known was at the Lyceum in London in 1812 under the title "Jack and Jill or the Clown 's disasters " RHYME Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after. Up Jack Got, and home did trot, as fast as he could caper, to old Dame Dob, who patched his nob with vinegar and brown paper.RHYME VERSION 2 Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after.Then up Jack got, and home did trot, as fast as he could caper. He went to bed to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK Also known as "Jack and the Giant Killer". The story is based on the German folk legend concerning Giant's. or is it? A Cornish Legend was written down by Geoffrey Monmouth in his "History of the Kings of Britain (c1135 -36) in it he tells of a man called Brutus, the Grandson of Aeneas who came to Britain with his deputy Corineus who had defeated Gogmagog, the King of the Giants in a wrestling match. He settled in land on the tip of South West England, now named after him as "Cornwall". Brutus then went on to defeat all the other Giants in England including Blunderbore (Blunderbore (The name originally given to the Giant in the Pantomime). It is said that the head of Gogmagog who had been killed in Cornwall had been given to King Arthur. In 1730 a book called "Round about our Coal-fire: or Christmas Entertainments" contained another version of this story and was re printed in 1734. The short story contained in this volume about a giant

Page 15: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

was "Enchantment demonstrated in the story of Jack Spriggs and the enchanted Bean" this story was amalgamated with the Cornish or German tale and became the story we know of today. In 1773 David Garrick produced possibly the first production at the Drury Lane Theatre of the story in play format, but it wasn't until 1819 that the pantomime version appeared in "Jack and the Beanstalk; or Harlequin and the Ogre" at Drury Lane. By 1855 the Adelphi theatre produced it as a burlesque show called "Jack and the Beanstalk; or Harlequin Mother Goose at Home Again". In 1867 again at Drury Lane E.L. Blanchard had adapted the story into "Faw -Fee -fo- fum or Jack The Giant Killer" which had not one but a Congress of Giants with such names as Og, Gog, & Magog. It also contained a character called The Duke of Cornwall whose daughter "Adelgitha" was saved from the giants by Jack. The story has changed over the years with the addition of various new characters and name changes. By 1914 Dame Dimple had been added to the Lyceum Theatre, London, production by the Melvilles. The Giant had originally been called "Blunderbore" but was later renamed "Fleshcreep" by modern writer John Morley. Fleshcreep has in later years became the name of the helper rather than the giant himself. Various names have been used for the giant including Giant Blunderbuss. The early versions have the Giant killed when he falls off the Beanstalk but later versions have a fight sequence between the giant and Jack in which Jack kills the giant with a Magic sword. Apart from pantomimes the story has appeared in many films including a comedy with Abbott and Costello, the Goodies (BBC Tv 1970- 80) made a special Tv Christmas special in which the giant was played by small actor Alfie Bass (.b. 8 Apr 1921 .d.17 July 1987). STORY Jack is sent by his mother to see the family cow at the local market as they cannot afford to keep it. On the way he meets an old man who swaps the cow for some magic beans. When Jack gets home his mother grabs the beans and throws them out of the window cursing Jack for getting so little for their cow. In the morning the beans have grown and they reach up into the clouds. jack decides to climb the beanstalk and reaches the home of a Giant. The Giant owns a magic harp and a goose that lays golden eggs. Jack steals the goose and the harp and climbs down the beanstalk with the giant following him. When he reaches the bottom of the beanstalk, he chops it down, killing the giant and allowing himself to keep the goose that lays the golden eggs and make his fortune.

LITTLE MISS MUFFET Based on Part of the "Little Jack Horner" rhyme. The story revolves around the abduction of Miss Muffet by the huge Spider and the eventual rescue by little Boy Blue (from another Rhyme) Miss Muffet is discovered to be the rightful heir to the throne. RHYME Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and whey; along came a spider who sat down beside her, and frightened Miss Muffet away. RHYME "Jack HORNER" Little jack Horner sat in the corner eating a Christmas pie; He put in his thumb, and pulled out a plumb, and said, "What a good boy am I !"

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD The story goes back to the Roman days and was later used by the Brothers Grimm. It was Charles Perrault who adapted the story to include a two legged Wolf. The Earliest pantomime version was called "Rudolf the Wolf; or Columbine Red Riding Hood" was produced in 1818 at Covent Garden

MOTHER GOOSE This was originally based on a nursery rhyme of the 1700's. It was written by Sarah Catherine Martin (1768-1821) while she was staying with her brother in law J.P. bastard of Kitley, Yealmpton, South Devon and is said to have been based on the housekeeper at Kitley. It was eventually published in 1805 The original rhyme revolves around Mother Goose having a goose that lays Golden Eggs. Charles Perrault (.b. 12 Jan 1628 .d.16 May 1703) adapted the characters for his (1697) "Stories of Mother Goose" (The book also included stories of Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood) and "Gammer Gurton's Gooseland" in which Mother Goose became the story teller. The Brothers Grimm also used Mother Goose in their story "Golden Goose". There are various claims to who is the Mother Goose referred to in the rhymes. According to tradition the lady who originally told Nursery rhymes to her Children was a Mistress Elizabeth Goose, widow of Issac Goose (Vergoose or Vertigoose) of Boston, Massachusetts. Born in 1665 she had sixteen Children who were to hear the original stories, when the grew up she then told the stories to her Grand-children. Everyone liked her storytelling except her Son in Law, Thomas Fleet, who hated her reading the stories out loud and decided to get his own back by publishing the stories in a book so that his

Page 16: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

children could read them out loud. To make it clear that he hated his mother in law he had a picture of a long necked Goose on the cover page with its beak open wide (the original Mother in Law joke). The Book was called "Mother Goose's Melodies". In 1806 the first Pantomime version was produced by Charles Dibdin at Covent Garden, written by Thomas Dibdin "Harlequin and Mother Goose; or the Golden Egg" had Joseph Grimaldi playing Squire Bugle. Later in his carrier Grimaldi became most famous in the role of Dame "Mother Goose". In 1902, Hickory Wood wrote the version that we know today for the Drury lane theatre with Dan Leno making a name for himself as Mother Goose. Hickory Wood's version has Mother Goose a rich widow giving away the Goose that lays the golden eggs to Demon Discord who in return gives her a magic pool which will make her beautiful. Dispute warnings from the fairy, Mother Goose becomes unhappy and only when she repents and is returned to her old ugly self does she get the Goose back and everyone lives happy ever after.

RHYME (on which some of the Pantomimes are based)Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her poor dog a bone; But when she came there the cupboard was bare and so the poor dog had none. She took a clean dish to get him some tripe; but when she came back he was smoking a pipe. She went to the alehouse to get him some beer; but when she came back the dog sat in a chair. She went to the tavern for white wine and red; but when she came back the dog stood on his head. She went to the fruiterer's to buy him some fruit; but when she came back he was playing the flute. She went to the tailor's to buy him a coat; but when she came back he was riding a goat. She went to the hatter's to buy him a hat; but when she came back he was feeding the cat. She went to the barber's to buy him a wig; but when she came back he was dancing a jig. She went to the cobbler's to buy him some shoes; but when she came back he was reading the news. She went to the seamstress to buy him some linen; but when she came back the dog was a spinning. She went to the hosier's to buy him some hose; but when she came back he was dressed in his clothes. The Dame made a curtsey, The Dog made a bow; The Dame said, your servant, the dog said, "Bow-wow"

OLD KING COLE Based on the Nursery Rhyme of the same name and revolves round the Fiddlers Three and the Merry Monarch who loses his Pipe. RHYME Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he; he called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl, and he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler, he had a fiddle, and a very fine fiddle had he; Twee tweedle dee, tweedle dee went the fiddlers. Oh, there's none so rare as can compare with King Cole and his fiddlers three.

OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOEThis is the story of an old woman and the story of Simple SimonRHYME There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children she didn't know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread; and whipped them all soundly and ut them to bed. RHYME SIMPLE SIMON Simple Simon met a pieman, going to the fair; says Simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your ware."says the pieman to Simple Simon, "show me first your penny." Says Simple Simon to the pieman, "indeed I have not any."

PIED PIPER Based on the German Legend of the Children's Crusade of 1212 when two expeditions set out with some 40,000 German children to walk over the Alps to Italy with a gentleman called Nicholas. Only a few of the children actually made it to Genoa and Rome only to find that Innocent 3rd ordered them home (one of the first sending back of illegal immigrants?). Other countries also sent children on Crusades. The French sent 30,000 with Stephen of Cloyes towards Marseilles and then on towards the holy land. Only 5,000 were offered passage but these were wrecked and sold into slavery by the captain of the ship to the Muslims. The story we use for the pantomime follows the following format and facts. In the German town of Hamelin (Westphalia) during 1284 there were thousands of rats. A rat catcher was called for and the piper turned up in his coloured coat and musically rid the town of all its rats. However, the town failed to pay for his services and he returned on St John's day (Either 24 June Baptist or the 27 Dec Evangelist) again playing his pipe. The music was so good that the whole of the town’s children

followed the piper into the hills never to return, all except two, one a blind child and the other was dumb or lame. Another destination for the children was Transylvania where the children grew up to form a colony. It was Robert Browning (.b.7 May 1812 .d.12 Dec 1889) in his poem that brought the story to Britain but the first documented form of this story was by James Howell in "Familiar Letters" written between 1645 & 1655.

PUSS IN BOOTS Based on the nursery story written in 1530 called "Le Chat Botté" by Italian Straparola in his book "Nights" Story No XI in which the cat owned by Constantine procures a castle for his master along with the hand in marriage of the Kings daughter. It was translated into French in 1585 It later appeared in a book by Charles Perrault called "Les contes de ma Mère l'Oye" published in 1697 and brought over to England in 1729 and was the first of his stories to be translated into English (French Title of the Book "Histoires ou Contes Du Temps Passe' Avec Des Moralitez"). The story told of a clever cat and his master the "Marquis of Carabas" who gather wealth so they can own their own castle and as with the earlier story the hand of the princess only be found out that Colin / Pedro or just Principle Boy is only a poor miller without a penny to his name. The first Pantomime production was in 1817 at Covent Garden. In 1832 "Puss in Boots; or Harlequin and the Millers Son" introduced the characters Paulo (Clown to Harlequin) and Tom Matthews (Clown to Pantaloon) to the Covent garden Pantomime. The modern pantomime that we know is related to the story of "The White Cat" which is considered to be an unlucky pantomime and is hardly ever seen today. One problem with this story, is that there is no definite name for our hero. Over the years he has had many names from Colin in the 1950's to Pedro in the 1990's. From 1909 to 1912 Mr Arthur Carlton took on tour this story, appearing at various theatre's including Crewe.

QUEEN OF HEARTS Based on the nursery rhyme. RHYME The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts, all on a summer's day; The Knave of Hearts he stole some tarts, and took them clean away. Queen of Hearts was Queen Elisabeth's (2nd) 1st visit to a panto at Lyceum in 1934. During the 1922 Theatre Royal, Birmingham production the leading comic Fred Allandale died in his sleep after an evening rehearsal.

THE RED GNOME I don’t know anything about this pantomime except that it was performed in America near San Francisco on the 30 December 1864 when Mr Henry Taylor (the Future owner of the Lyceum Theatre in Crewe) saw the Pantomime of “The Red Gnome” at Bert’s New Idea with some of the best acrobatics he had seen – by Ross and Carlo.

ROBINSON CRUSOE First produced in 1781 at Drury Lane it was based on the story by Daniel Defoe (c1659- 1731). The true story was based on the exploits of Alexander Selkirk who was marooned on the Island of San Fernandez. The book was first published in 1719. The 1781 production "Robinson Crusoe or Harlequin Friday" had Grimaldi as "Friday"

SINBAD (or Sindbad) THE SAILOR One of the Arabian Night's stories it tells of a wealthy citizen from Baghdad who had six voyages of discovery, one of which was to discover the Roc's egg (Large white bird with great strength), the valley of Diamonds and on the way, he killed the Old man of the Sea.It was first performed around 1814. The earliest version was in that year at the Drury Lane Theatre as "The Valley of Diamonds; or Harlequin Sinbad"

SLEEPING BEAUTY The original theme of the story came from both French and Catalan folk tales of the 14th century and came in part, to be traced back as far as an ancient Greek story of Zeus (The father of the Gods) and Leda (The daughter of Thestius and his wife Tyndareus the king of Spata). Leda was seduced by Zeus in the form of a Swan. She gave birth to two eggs from which hatched Helen (of Troy) and Polydeuces from the first egg and from the second Castor and Clytemnestra . The story also formed the basis of the legends of the star constellations Cygnus (The Swan) and Gemini (The Twins).

The story of Sleeping Beauty was included as a tale in "Thousand and One Nights" where the Beauty is called "Sittukhan" and is the daughter of an ordinary woman who is only able to have a child by a King. When Sittukhan's mother prayes to the god Allah to let her conceive she asks for "a daughter, even if she be not proof against the smell of Flax" and thus Sittukhan was born. When the child became ten years old she fell in love with a Prince, unfortunately some flax gets under her fingernail and she goes into a deep sleep. Another story was of 14th Century French origin, in a romantic story called "Perceforest" which has the heroine "Zelladine" raped by a passing King. In 1634 in Naples Giambattista Basile used this 14th century tale when he wrote his book "Il Pentamerone" with a story called "Sun and Moon and Talia" (Talia being the Heroine) in it. This became in part the basic story of The Sleeping Beauty Pantomime version. Here like in the "Sittukhan" version the beauty is allergic to Flax. She is the daughter of a Lord she gets flax under her fingernails and dies. At this point her father places her in the castle's salon and then abandons her while he grieves. Basile then has Talia (Beauty) giving birth to twins, after she has been raped, by a passing King, while she is asleep. She is only to be woken from her slumber when a good fairy places the children to her breasts, however the fairy is unable to find her nipples so the gildren suck on their mother’s fingers instead sucking out the Flax and reviving the "Beauty". Our story then moves into Snow White mode as the children "Sun and Moon" are then kidnapped by a Wicked Queen and given to the Palace Cook who is asked to kill them and serve the children up in a pie for the King. The Cook doesn't do this and takes the children home where they are raised by his wife. At the end the Wicked Queen is burned to death, the children are reunited with their mother, the King marries Talia (Beauty) and the Cook becomes Chamberlain. In the Basile version and a later story by Charles Perrault, beauty's mother is an evil queen who plots to kill her. The earlier version has the Queen as a Cannibal who would eat her daughter given the chance. It was Charles Perrault a Frenchman who invented a storyteller called "Mother Goose" (S ee above) who told various tales for the amusement of her children. When Charles Perrault (.b. 12 Jan 1628 .d.16 May 1703) published the stories in 1697 under the title "Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passe' " the first story in the book was called "The Sleeping Beauty" (or "La Belle au Bois Dormany"). In 1729, 26 years after his death the books were translated into English under the title "Histories, or Tales of Past Times". At the end of his version of the story the Wicked Queen angry at her failure to kill her daughter commits suicide by throwing herself in a pit of vipers. In 1806 the Drury Lane theatre staged a play version of the story called "The Sleeping Beauty, a Grand Legendary Melodrama". The less gruesome story we know today is based on a re-working by the Brothers Grimm who had twelve good fairies giving gifts to the young baby and an evil fairy putting a curse on the child killing her on her birthday by pricking her finger. In 1812 the Brothers Grimm published this story under the title "Little Briar-Rose". In 1822 the Covent Garden theatre staged the first Pantomime version of the story under the title "Harlequin and the Ogress, or, The Sleeping Beauty of the Wood" which was written by Charles Farley and based on the Grimm Brother story. The Panto starred Grimaldi. In 1967 Danny La Rue appeared in "Queen Passionella and the Sleeping Beauty" which holds the record for the longest running pantomime ever in London when it appeared at the Saville Theatre. The story inspired Tchaikovsky to write a ballet in 1890 while Walt Disney made a cartoon in which the figure of Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) was made to look like the lovely actress Audrey Hepburn. SLEEPING BEAUTY (ADULTS ONLY)Before the story was turned into a Pantomime it has been said that the story of her being woken up with just a kiss was a bit more intermit, with the original version having the Knight in shining armour (Later the Prince) taking off his armour and taking advantage of the situation. All done in the best of taste..... I hope.

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS Now to be politically correct it is called "Snow White and the Seven Virtually Challenged people" and is possibly the best known of the pantomimes, however it is shrouded in mystery as to where it came from. In all the Pantomime books I have looked at there is no section on the origin of this particular show. As far as we know the story is based on a tale in German Folklore and was one of those that were collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1815 (Translated into English in 1820 by D.L. Ashliman). Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm are said to have collected the tale from Jeannette and Amalie Hassenpfung, two sisters from Cassel. This version of the story however was possibly made up of a number of similar stories from around Germany.

Page 19: PANTOMIME --- A HISTORY · 2018-12-10 · Pantomime makes love to and engages in Acrobatic dances with Columbime." Columbine (The heroine - Dressed in a Ballet tutu). A traditional

It is also said that one of the stories it could have been based upon is that of a little girl who lived in the Kingdom of Gent (ca.768), the daughter of a Duke and his mistress. It is said that the girl had a very pale complexion thus the Snow White reference although it may have been a form of “Albinism”. The Duchess was angry at the infidelity of her husband and on his death she is reportedly to have had the child killed. Local folk law described the girl as being “Fairer” than her mother and a poem was written about the event called “The Fair Maiden of Gent”. Another inspiration could have been Margarete von Waldeck (.b. 1533 .D. 1554) who was a beautiful woman who had a bad relationship with her Stepmother. She came from the town of Waldeck where small children known as “Dwarfs” worked in the Mines (Not Diamond mines). In 1550 at the age of 17 she moved to Brussels where she became the talk of the town because of her beauty and at one time was courted by Philip II of Spain but before he could marry her she became ill after being poisoned and died at the age of 21. The Poisoner was never named but it was thought to have been her Stepmother.

A third version of the inspirational story comes from the city of Lohr where Maria Sophia Margaretha Catharina von Erthal lived. She was the daughter of Philipp Christop von Erthal and the sister of Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal.

Another possible source for the story is that of the tale of “Lisa” who was sent to sleep with a poisoned comb, but more about that later.

The story of Snow White revolves around the jealousy of her stepmother who has a “Magic Mirror” which tells her that Snow White is the “Fairest of them all”. Not wishing to be second she persuades a woodcutter to take Snow White into the Forest and kill her. He cannot bring himself to do this and instead of killing Snow White abandons her in the forest taking back the heart of a deer, which the queen has prepared and eats. The Queen continues to think she is the most beautiful in the land until she consults the mirror again and it tells her that Snow White still lives and is staying with seven Dwarfs who live in the forest. The inclusion of Seven Dwarfs is nothing new as a number of stories from that region had small workers from the mines and the number seven is one of the magical numbers, as God created the world in seven days (Resting on the seventh) and William Shakespeare even quoted the seven ages of man “Infant” (Dopy), “Student” (Happy), “Lover” (Bashful), “Soldier” (Grumpy), “Justice” (Doc), “Maturity” (Sneezey) and “Senility” (Sleepy).

In the original Snow White story, the wicked Queen tries to kill Snow White three times, each time being saved by the Dwarfs (Apart from the last time).

1) Disguised as a Peddler the Queen offers Snow White some colourful Stay Laces (For a corset) which she sells Snow White and helps her to put them on resulting in the Queen tightening them so tight that Snow White faints. Thinking she has died the Queen leaves her alone. The Dwarfs however loosen the laces and Snow White is able to breathe again.

2) Disguised as an Old Woman the Queen persuades Snow White to let her brush her hair with a Poisoned comb and it is only when the Dwarfs remove the comb that Snow White lives again. The influence for this story could have come from the tale of “Lisa” published in 1634 in which the beautiful seven-year-old Lisa appears to have died when a comb was stuck in her head. Her Father had the body in-cased in a crystal casket and locked it away in a room only to be discovered much later by the girls Uncle’s Wife who became jealous as she thought her husband had had an affair and Lisa was the result. Not knowing the story of the girl’s imprisonment in the casket the Aunt opens it and takes out the body, dislodging the comb in the head and thus restoring the little girl to life. 3) The Third attempt is with the Poisoned Apple, which sends Snow White to sleep. The Dwarfs are unable to bring her back this time and decide to put her in a glass coffin (another reference to the Lisa story) where a handsome Prince sees her and falls deeply in love with her. (Some would say perversely) He decides to take the beautiful dead Snow White back to his castle but while his servants are moving her they dislodge the apple and Snow White comes back to life. In later versions the Prince falls in love with her and kisses her thus bringing her back to life, while a third version and the usual version for pantomime have the Prince and Snow White falling in love before the woodman abducts her and leaves her in the forest. Thus he kisses the girl he loved after searching for her for many years.

With Snow White alive again the Queen gets a shock when she asks her magic mirror “Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who is the fairest of them all” and the reply comes back “You my Queen, are fair, it is true. But the young Queen is a thousand times fairer than you”.

When the Prince returns with his soon to be bride the Wicked Queen discovers that it is Snow White. Her treachery is discovered and the Wicked Queen is made to wear Iron Shoes, which have been in the furnace and are thus very hot making the Queen dance until she dies (Or some versions have her having a heart attack).

The white of “Snow White” actually referrers in the story to the brilliant white colour of her teeth and is not her Sir name or the clothes she wore. The original story doesn’t refer to the Dwarfs by name, which presents producers with the problem of the modern Snow White production. What are they called? Well Walt Disney certainly did name them. However, the name of the Dwarfs in the film, were his creation and although many would like to use these well-known names they are actually copyrighted to the Walt Disney Corporation and may not be used by theatres without their permission. For those who need to know the Disney names, here is the list – Happy, Sneezey, Doc, Bashful, Sleepy, Grumpy and Dopey. So popular were these characters that when Walt Disney won the Oscar, they made 7 Small Oscars for the Dwarfs.

The earliest pantomime version we know of is one called “Snow White and the Red Rose”, which unfortunately we have no idea when it was originally performed as the date is unknown. It is possible that the story may not have been the same one we know of today or it could also have been another story as the title is that of another German story (SchneeweiBchen und Rosentot), which the Brothers Grimm had also collected. In 1912 a Broadway play based on the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story named the dwarfs for the first time. The popularity of the story comes from 1937 when Snow White was made into a Walt Disney film (Cartoon) with those lovable characters we all know today. It is now the Disney film rather than the original folk story that most of the Pantomimes are based on with the look of the costumes and scenery looking more like the film version. One of the earliest productions was “Mother Goose and Little Snow White” produced at the Theatre Royal, Exeter for their 50th Anniversary (1889 Jack and the Beanstalk -1962 Ali Barber). It was written by “Uncle” Percy Dunsford who had become Acting Manager of the theatre in 1897 and was viewed by 60,000 people many of whom had been brought in by coach from all over the region.

The Prince in the pantomime also failed to be given a name and not even Walt Disney could come to the rescue as he also failed to name him in the 1937 film. So pick a name and it is yours. How about “Prince Stewart”, I like that. Usually in Pantomime the Prince is played by a woman dressed as a man, however as the role is quite a small part of the show and he has to kiss the Princess the role is usual played by a man.

Most Pantomimes like to have a Dame in the show but Snow White is one of the exceptions as the story stops for a Dame character as soon as Snow White goes into the Forest. Some shows have a Nurse character as the Dame but many leave the comic roles to the Dwarfs and the Wicked Queen becomes more comical than frightening.The traditional comic role is also usually left out of the show but some writers have included a helper to the Dame called Muddles whose character like the Dame seems to end at the departure of Snow White and is only brought on if a large Scene change is needed and the Dame and comic can do their usual comic routine.

He doesn’t like this and decides to let her go into the forest where she would probably be killed by a bear. However she discovers a little house and falls asleep on one of the beds owned by some little people she originally thinks are children. When she discovers they are dwarfs she decides to stay with them and help them by cooking and cleaning for them. The Witch finds out she is still alive and poisons her with an apple dipped in a magic potion which sends her to sleep only to be woken by a handsome Prince’s kiss.

TOM THUMB The pantomime of Tom Thumb was known in the early days as "Hop O'My Thumb" and was based on the German story by the Brothers Grimm. It probably saw the light of day in an adaptation by Henry Fielding in 1730, at the Haymarket in London. Other variations of the stories included a 16th century version by publisher Richard Johnson called "The History of Tom Thumb" which he published in 1621 and a similar story by Frenchman Charles Perrault called "Le Petit Poucet" (1697).It is possible that the first "Principle boy" appeared in the production called "Hop O'My Thumb and his brothers; or Harlequin and the Ogre" in which actress Elizabeth Poole played the part of a boy in the production staged at Covent Garden in 1831.One notable production was in 1844 when the midget "General Tom Thumb" appeared in a London production called "Hop O'My thumb or the Ogre with the seven Boots" . It proved so popular that even Queen Victoria asked to see the show. In 1958 Terry Thomas, Peter Sellers and Russ Tamblyn appeared in a film version of the Grimm stories.

WHITE CAT This is one of the earliest pantomimes being first performed in 1809 "The White Cat or Harlequin in Fairyland" was performed at the Lyceum in London. __________________________________________________________________________________

Various people had played the role including David Jason (Frost - His first and only appearance) in the Theatre Royal, Newcastle production along with Leah Bell (Local Actress) as Cinderella. IDLE JACK In Dick Whittington. SIMPLE SIMON In Jack and the Beanstalk. TINBAD THE TAILOR The comic role in "Sinbad the Sailor".

GOOD AND EVIL Probably the two most traditional characters in Pantomime, the Fairy always enters from the Left (Stage Right) while the evil character always enters from the Right (Stage Left). The Good (Fairy) is always lit in White while the evil character is always lit in a Green Filter (The Devil's Colour).

FAIRY ENTERING FROM STAGE RIGHT (Villain / evil character from Stage Left) This is done because in the old theatres the stage door through which the evil character entered was always situated on the Stage left side or prompt corner. Some say that this was done so that the prompt or stage manager could also play the villain entering and leaving the stage easily thus saving money for the management. When the Fairy talks about the powers of Evil the fairy should always transfer her magic wand from her Right hand to her left handLeft has always been the evil side. When you spill salt you through salt over your left shoulder to ward off evil. If the left palm itches it is a sign of poverty. In the painting by Leonardo da Vinci of "The

Last Supper" Judas Iscariot is seated on the left of Jesus. Another theory about the entrance goes back to “Mystery Plays” where the right side of the stage symbolises Heaven while the left side represents Hell.

In the Greek Tragedies of Euripides, he introduced a character called the "Deus ex machina" named because he was lowered onto the stage by a crane from the top of the "Skéné", a building at the back of the stage, who would enter at the end of the play and solve all the problems facing the characters. In early pantomimes this became the Benevolent Agent who would end the opening pantomime and would signify the start of the Harlequinade. This Benevolent agent was usually played by a woman and would usually be a fairy who would wave her magic want to solve problems and thus the Good Fairy came into being in the Pantomime. Evil is usually the baddie in the Pantomime. Both appear at the start of the Pantomime laying out the plans for the next couple of hours of the show, usually in Rhyming couplets.

THE DAME DAME DURDEN / DAME TROT In 1819 the production of "Jack and the Beanstalk; or Harlequin and the Ogre" at Drury Lane had Dame Durden as the dame. She was still the same name when Dan Leno played her in 1886, his first Pantomime Dame in the Surrey Theatre. Dan Later played the character as Mrs Simpson at the Drury Lane, again changing the name to Dame Trot for a later performance at the Lane. In 1910-11 George Graves played her as Mrs Halleybutt (Halibut - A fish) at Drury Lane. The name Dame Trot however is not the best name for this character as Trot in the 18th Century (1700's) means Vagina (Ladies naughty bit) thus to get the Trots is to have Diarrhoea coming out of the back side. By the 19th Century (1800's) the name Trot came to mean "Old Hag". MOTHER GOOSE AND MOTHER HUBBARD Although these are technically Dame parts in Pantomime as they are usually played by men, the names are however the main character of the show and so are covered in the Original Story part of this file. MRS CRUSOE The Dame in Robinson Crusoe is the Mother of Robinson and was created especially for the pantomime version as it has no relevance to the original story. NURSE (in Sleeping Beauty) The Dame in Sleeping beauty has changed over the years starting life as Cook but changed as Sarah the cook became popular as a name for the dame in Dick Whittington. Today the Dame is a Nurse. RED RIDING HOOD'S GRANDMOTHER The Dame in Red Riding Hood was created especially for the pantomime version as it has no relevance to the original story. SARAH THE COOK Known as the Cook as far back as a 1731 production of Dick Whittington, Thomas Greenwood called her Dame Dorothy Drippington in 1852 but she is usually known as Sarah the Cook in the Modern versions of the Pantomime. UGLY SISTERS They first appeared in Opera rather than Pantomime. It was Rossini's "La Cenerentola" (1817) he called them Clorinda and Tisbe (or Thisbe). The original villain in Cinderella the Pantomime was the Stepmother who seems to have been left out of the modern versions, however since "Harlequin and Cinderella; or the Little Glass Slipper" at Covent Garden in 1820 the Ugly sisters were introduced as selfish stepsisters. In Byron's "Cinderella; or the Lover, the Lackey, and the Little Glass Slipper" at the Royal Strand Theatre in 1860 they were called the Uglies. There seems to be no real names for the two sisters as it depends on the writer as to what he or she calls them some favourites are, Namby and Pamby, Tutti and Fruitti, Valderma and Germolena, Pearl and Deane (After the Cinema Advertisers), Hilda and Tilda, Posh and Scary (After the Spice Girls), Britney and Cher (2 Pop Singers), Dannii and Kylie (after the Minogue Sisters). WIDOW TWANKEY

Created for the 1813 production of "Aladdin" at the Covent Garden theatre she / he was originally called "Widow Ching Mustapha". In 1861 H.J. Byron called the Dame Widow Twankey for the first time. It was created from a contemporary reference. "Twankay" (Not Twankey) was a fashionable brand of Tea (Twankay Tea) in the 1860's, from the Tuan Ky (or Twan Kay) province of China. In 1813 she was a Taylor's widow but by the mid 1800's show had become a washerwoman.

OTHER DAMES Some productions are more difficult to produce a Dame Character but as most Parients like to see the Dame in Pantomime writers try to include one in the show. John Morley managed to get a Dame into Goldilocks and the Three Bears by having the bears join a Circus owned by and incompetent Dame. __________________________________________________________________________________

PRINCIPLE BOY PRINCIPLE BOY (a Girl) In the 1700's many of the male roles in Opera's like Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" (1786) had women taking the part originally written for men. The first known crossover part was by Margaret (Peg) Woffington who played Sir Henry Wildair in Farquhar's "The Constant Couple". The first known actress to play "Principle boy" appeared in a Pantomime, in the production of "Harlequin and Fortunio" in 1815. Unfortunately, the name of the actress is unknown. Eliza Povey (1804 - 1861) became the first named actress to play principle boy when she played Jack in "Jack and the Beanstalk or Harlequin and the Ogre" at the Drury Lane theatre in 1819. She was not the only actor to play Jack in that year’s pantomime as Jack Bologna (1781 - 1846) had to double for the character Jack due to the fact that women were not thought to be able to do stunts. Another early named "Principle boy" appeared in a production of Tom Thumb called "Hop O'My Thumb and his brothers; or Harlequin and the Ogre" in which actress Elizabeth Poole played the part of a boy in the production staged at Covent Garden in 1831. In the 19th Century actresses like Madame Vestris staged spectacular shows at London's Olympic theatre and Dury Lane introducing the tradition of Thigh Slapping to the pantomime.

THIGH SLAPPING PRINCIPLE BOY. In 1837 theatre Manager Madame Vestris (1797 -1856) played principle boy in "Puss in Boots" at the Olympic theatre London, as Ralph. It was this performance that introduced the "Slap on the Thigh" as a sign to men who were denied looking at young women half dressed, have a good look at these thighs. Madame Vestris was a beautiful woman who wanted to keep her femininity as well as playing principle boy. This thigh slap was to show the men that she had lovely legs and that she was just as attractive as the principle girl if not better looking. It also moved the audience’s attention from the other cast members to her entrance. Born Lucy Elizabeth Bartolozzi 1797 (.d.1856) performed under the stage name of Madame Vestris, and made her first appearance on stage at the age of 20 in 1817. She went on to make her name as a “Leg acress”, as they were much admired by all who saw them and were by all accounts in great demand especially for those "Breeches Parts" in pantomime and vaudeville. With fame came money and in 1830 she was able to take over as manager of the Olympic theatre in the Strand becoming the first woman manager of a London theatre.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT PRINCIPLE BOYS1861 Lydia Thompson (1836 - 1908) played principle boy at the Lyceum theatre, London.1892 - 1897 Ada Blanche (1862 - 1953) played at the Lyceum Theatre she started by starring in Augustus Harris's production of "Little Bo-Peep, Little Red Riding Hood and Hop o' my thumb" as Little Boy Blue in 1893.

Between 1912 and 1915 Drury lane went against the principle boy mould and used a male operetta star to play the role. Again, in the 1950's and 1960's the London Palladium hired Norman Wisdom to play principle boy, with Cliff Richard, Frankie Vaughan, Tommy Steele, Jimmy Tarbuck and Edward Woodward continuing the role. In 1971 Cilla Black regained the role at the Palladium.as Aladdin.

Between 1936 & 1942 Princess Elizabeth (Now the Queen) played principle boy. In 1942 Elizabeth and her sister Margaret played "Florizol" (Elizabeth) and "Cinderella" in a private production at Windsor Castle.

Christopher Biggins A Pantomime Dame for 38 consecutive years until 2007 when he was taking part in “I’m A Celebrity, Get me Out of Here!” on ITV making it impossible for him to do a show that year as he was in the Australian Jungle. He was however soon back in Pantomime. Edward Blanchard (1820 - 1889) In 1852 the Drury Lane theatre produced "Harlequin Hudibras; or

Old Dame Durden and the Droll Days of the Merry Monarch" and "Babes in the Wood" both written by Edward Blanchard. This was the start of about 100 scripts he had a hand in as exclusive writer at the theatre. As he had monopoly on scripts Blanchard (Also known as "The Prince of Openings" or "The Hero of a Hundred Pantomimes") decided to make some changes. Up till then the opening which was in Rhyming couplets but had no moral tale, was changed to the moral of the Pantomime, still in Rhyme as it is today. In 1883 after much soul searching, Edward who was always a traditionalist, dropped the role of Harlequinade a part all pantomimes had included up until then but was now becoming old fashioned and with the death of Grimaldi in 1837 no one played the part right. In the 1883 production of Cinderella at Drury Lane Harlequin was no more. With other Writers like Thomas Greenwood (1806 -1879) (Joint Manager at Sadler's Wells) at Sadler's Wells, Edward called the writing duo

"The Brother Grimm". Douglas Byng (1893 - 1987) The best Dame of the 1920's and 30's he played the part only 27

In 1847 the couple was released from jail and took over the Lyceum theatreagain with critical cuccess but financial trouble and Vestris again ended up in jail being released in 1855. Madame Vestris appeared on stage for the last time in 1854 or 55, but her failing health caused her to die two years later.

the 5th member of the troupe. They made their first pantomime debuit at the Lyceum theatre in 1865 for the production of "Humpty Dumpty". The following year 1866 they appeared in W.S. Gilbert's only attempt at Pantomime writing "Harlequin Cock Robin and Jenny Wren; or Fortunes and the Water of Life, The Three Bears, The Three Gifts, The Three Wishes and The Little Man Woo'd the Little Maid". They appeared in nearly every pantomime at Drury Lane from 1869 to 1879. When Augustus Harris took over from F.B Chatterton (Left after financial problems) at Drury Lane in 1879 he didn't want the family and so they moved to the Covent Garden theatre. When Jessie died in 1884 the group broke up.

PANTOMIME TRADITIONS DAME's

When the Ugly sisters are getting ready for the ball Their props must be larger than normal. One traditional line is when One of the Ugly sisters looks into the Mirror and sees how ugly she is she then asks her sister to look into the mirror and tell her who's face she sees. To this the other sister replies "Why it is me" to which the first replies "Thank heaven's, I thought it was mine"

DICK WHITTINGTON The Cat when joining the ship must wear a sailors Collar round his neck and a Sailor's hat on its head.

GHOST SKETCH This joke involves members of the cast sitting on a bench and singing a song. At certain points in the proceedings a ghost or monster comes onto stage and taps one of the cast on the shoulder leading to them being frightened and running off stage. This happens to each member of the cast until the last person, when they turn round to see the ghost, the ghost screams and runs away. Extra's, the bench can be made with one leg further in than the other so that the bench tips over when one of the cast of frightened and runs off stage. The cast can be walking around instead of sitting down.

RIFLE REVIEW SKETCH First found in "Puss in Boots ; or Harlequin and the Fairy of the Golden Palms" at the Drury Lane theatre in 1859.

THROWING SWEETS The tradition of throwing sweets into the audience was probably introduced as a publicity event for the Sweeet manufacturers. This also led to the Dame or comedian leaving a bag of sweets on the side of the stage for the audience to keep an eye on. However by 2000 the Health and safety people were starting to put a stop to this tradition, thinking that the sweets might poke out someones eye and by 2009 most of the theatres had followed this ban.

END1) The Principle boy and girl are the last to enter for the curtain call with the boy entering slightly before the girl (principles) . 2) The "TAG LINE" should never be spoken before the final curtain call on the first night of the Pantomime. The Tag line is a poem wishing everyone a merry Christmas or best wishes for the new year depending when it is performed. It is made up of each of the principle characters taking a line with usually the "Star Name" reading out the final line or "Tag line".

General LINES1) Local references are always popular, Football team Local Government, The Traffic system in

the Town, The local bus service "I waited an hour for a bus then three came along at the same time . They don't come on their own , because they're frightened to come alone"

2) Taken from, I think a Laurel and Hardy film, this line is always popular with panto audiences. When the script calls for a repair to something or as in Dick Whittington , he, The Dame and Idle Jack have to break into a safe with the use of a large Hammer The Dame says "After Three when I nod my head , you Hit It" They then count to three and Idol jack Hits her on the head rather than the object in question.

3) "He's behind you " for the Ghost sketch. 4) "Oh yes he is" "Oh now he isn't" 5) Principle boy always sings a Marching song where they are joined by the "Babes" in the cast.

TRADITIONAL LAST WORDS It is the principle boy who speeks the last words at a pantomime usually in Rhyming Couplet. The lines of the final message are first read at the First Night for to do so before then would bring bad luck. #################################################################################
