EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Hetty King, also known as Hettie Emms, in her iconic role as Aladdin during a music hall performance around 1906. The image showcases Hetty's extraordinary talent as a male impersonator, a popular form of entertainment during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. Dressed in an elaborate and ornate Chinese-style costume, Hetty exudes a regal and mystical aura. The satin jacket, adorned with intricate embroidery and short pants, is paired with tights and satin shoes featuring large bows. Atop her head sits an extravagant hat bedecked with feathers, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the ensemble. Hetty's long, flowing hair is styled in a plait, further emphasizing her feminine features despite her masculine attire. The pantomime costume, with its exaggerated elements and theatrical flair, was a testament to Hetty's skill and versatility as a performer. Music halls were the precursors to modern-day theaters and provided a platform for various forms of entertainment, including comedy, music, and theatrical performances. Male impersonators, such as Hetty King, were a popular attraction due to their ability to convincingly portray male characters, often with added humor and exaggeration. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of music hall entertainment and the captivating performances of Hetty King, a trailblazing female impersonator of her time.
