The Pantomime "Aladdin," at the Grand Theatre, Fulham: the market-place, Pekin, 1898. London stage production. 'Mr. Alexander Henderson...has chosen one of the best and most exciting of fairy stories for his initial pantomime, and he has secured an admirable company...The Fulham manager or his director, Mr. Milton Bode, has given full scope to the scene-painter, to the designer, and to the music-hall comedian (and his melodies) without harming the innocence of the story or the magic of its marvels. [Miss Rose Dearing] a clever young actress, vocalist, and dancer [takes] the title-role..., the roguish boy is allowed a pretty and dainty Princess in Miss Alma Steele; while there is real vocal charm and pathetic force in the love-sick Pekoe of Miss Millie Legarde. But the fun is the thing; and Mr. Fred Wilkinson's Widow Twankey and the two eccentric Chinamen, played by Messrs. Walton and Lester, afford a never-ceasing fund of amusement. Capital scenery, painted by Mr. E. G. Banks - notably that of the Cave and of Aladdin's Palace; appropriate music prepared by Mr. Hayes Evans; a pleasant libretto from the pen of Mr. Stanley Rogers; costly dresses and vivacious dances, make up an entertainment of which Fulham has every reason to be proud'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
