Providing a unique insight into a forgotten golden age of pantomime, these films from the collections of the National Library of Scotland - Scottish Screen Archive offer a remarkable glimpse of the ephemeral art of live theatre. These silent amateur films feature pantomimes from 1931 to 1952. From the star-filled extravaganzas of the Alhambra Theatre Glasgow to the smaller variety-style productions at Glasgow's Royal Princess's Theatre, from classic routines such as the school room scene from "Babes in the wood" to forgotten speciality acts such as acrobats, dancers, and performing dogs, this material provides an unparalleled opportunity to re-live the heyday of Scottish pantomime.
