...Christmas pantomimes have not been wholly pure-i.e., perfectly silent-for a long time. Singing & dancing have been customary since 1723, spoken dialogue since 1814. The great joy of every panto player is the matchless exuberance of his audience. Last year Nervo & Knox, two fine slapstickers with 26 years in panto, so worked up their youthful audience against the Baron (Variety Artist Eddy Gray) that he could not speak his lines for the din; when Nervo yelled, "Come on, kids, let's kill the Baron," more than a hundred of them stormed on to the stage and stopped...

Spreading seven-foot wings, they would dance in airborne minuets, circling, diving, lining up on sides. Their powerful whoops, from five-foot, trumpet-like windpipes coiled within their chests, could be heard three miles away...
