Two photographs of Louie Flesher. She appeared in pantomime at the People’s Theatre (Peeps).
This production could have been Aladdin or Cinderella. Evelyn Bailey played principle boy in both shows. One of Louie’s costumes had to be altered, as it was found to be too revealing when under the spotlights!

Lillian Southwell was my Grandad Walter’s sister. She was born at South View Terrace, Yeadon in 1905, so guessing her age in the panto to be around 8 or 9 years old it would have been taken 1913/14.
