Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "The four men, two in drag, pose on a piece of stage furniture. A superb group of dames at Drury Lane in 1907. Having established Drury Lane Theatre as the foremost venue for pantomime, the producer Augustus Harris died tragically early in 1896. The tradition of the Christmas panto was however carried on after his death. This must have been a particularly good show, featuring four of the best comics around at that time: Fred Emney; Walter Passmore; Harry Fragson and Harry Randall, all stars in their own right"
