Description: | A photograph of a group of dancers rehearsing for a Christmas pantomime, taken by Sayers for the Daily Herald newspaper on 9 December, 1938. The venue is the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London. In this overhead photograph, the dancers are playfully surrounding the producer of the show, Ralph Reader (1903-1982). A choreographer and musical director, Reader worked in Britain and America, in both theatre and the cinema. He is perhaps most famous for starting the Scouting Movement's annual 'Gang Shows' - a review of songs and comedy sketches begun in 1932. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | gelatin silver print photograph | Temporal: | 09/12/1938 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Sayers | Identifier: | 1983-5236/G06111 | Go to resource |
