EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Jazz Age at the London Hippodrome in 1925, with a focus on the groundbreaking revue production, The Jazz Mistress. At the heart of the image is Winifred Arthur, a nineteen-year-old South African sensation, who defied conventions by conducting the 22-strong all-male jazz orchestra on stage. Surrounding Winifred are some of the other notable performers of the show, including Beri and Beth, the lively dancing duo; Tex McLeod, the charismatic dancer; Aileen Stanley, the graceful demure dancer; Stanley, the suave and stylish singer; Ernie, the energetic tap dancer; Hal Sherman, the witty comedian; and Tex Demarcos, the dapper bandleader. The Jazz Mistress was an innovative and exhilarating production that showcased the best of jazz music and dance, attracting large audiences and critical acclaim. Winifred Arthur's unique role as a female conductor added an extra layer of intrigue and excitement to the show, making headlines and paving the way for future female conductors in the world of jazz and theatre. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when jazz music and dance ruled the stage, and the Hippodrome was the place to be for those seeking an unforgettable night of entertainment. The image is a testament to the creativity, talent, and spirit of the 1920s, a time when the world seemed to be dancing to a new beat.
