Observations

   This was the first time that Anne appeared as principal boy in pantomime. She was to play many more principal boys in her career. During the run of this pantomime she met Babs Wilson-Hill (principal dancer), who would remain a life-long friend.

   My mother was in the chorus of this production she was Dorothy Roberts and would have been about 14 at the time I will try and find the photograps and upload them.

   Found the pictures of my mum in this pantomime. They were taken in Jeromes London Road Liverpool in the February just after the show had finished.I hope this will give some idea of the lovely costumes they had.

   I was most interested to see the photos of Dorothy Roberts who was in the chorus of this pantomime. I am compiling a time line of Anne Ziegler’s work before she joined her husband, Webster Booth as a “romantic duettist”, so I will mention Dorothy Roberts’ part in this pantomime.
