EDITORS COMMENTS
Dandy Dick Whittington: A Delightful Victoriana Tableau from the Hallowed Halls of the Avenue Theatre In the heart of the 1890s, the Avenue Theatre in London played host to an enchanting production that captured the imagination of Victorian audiences: Dandy Dick Whittington. This light opera, which premiered on 2 March 1895 and ran until 13 July of the same year, showcased the theatrical prowess of its talented cast, including the captivating Miss May Yohe, Miss Ethel Haydon, and Mr. Henry Wright. Miss Yohe, as the eponymous hero, Dandy Dick Whittington, dazzled spectators with her vivacious portrayal of the titular character, whose humble beginnings as a costermonger's apprentice in London belied his eventual rise to wealth and fame. In the words of the script, "Dick Whittington, the rat-catcher, is a jolly, good-natured fellow, who is always ready for a laugh, and is full of resource and pluck." Miss Haydon, as Alice, the love interest of our dashing hero, brought grace and elegance to her role. The script reveals, "Alice, a beautiful and accomplished young lady, is the daughter of the Lord Mayor of London." Her portrayal of Alice was a testament to her versatility as an actress, as she deftly navigated the complexities of her character. Mr. Henry Wright, as Larry O'Brannagan, the mischievous and roguish friend of Dick Whittington, brought a touch of mischief and humor to the production. The script describes Larry as "a jolly, good-natured rogue, who is always ready for a frolic." These theatrical studio portraits, captured in 1895, offer a glimpse into the magic of the Avenue Theatre during the production of Dandy Dick Whittington. The images of Miss Yohe as Dick Whittington, Miss Haydon as Alice, and Mr. Henry Wright as Larry O'Brannagan serve as a reminder of the enchanting world of Victorian theatre and the enduring appeal of this beloved light opera.
