Blanche Massey

I am pretty sure Blanche Massey is one of three actresses in that one photo, but hopefully someone could confirm?--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 04:30, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! See this: http://www.vam.ac.uk/users/node/9009 If you click on the photo, you can see from the caption at the bottom that Massey is the woman in the center. Can you make out the other names? -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:40, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A ha! Yes, knowing what the likely names are from here [1], I can tell that its Alice Davis and Hetty Hamer[2].--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 18:56, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two British officers had to resign their commissions when they married Gaiety Girls (Nicholls, Elspeth Huxley, 2002, p. 17). This was apparently prior to 1912. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.243.1.164 (talk) 05:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-Gaiety Girls in The Geisha, 1896; Blanche Massey center
-Gaiety Girls were the chorus girls in Edwardian musical comedies, beginning in the 1890s at the Gaiety Theatre, London, in the shows produced by George Edwardes. The popularity of this genre of musical theatre depended, in part, on the beautiful dancing corps of "Gaiety Girls" appearing onstage in bathing attire and in the latest fashions. The 1890s Gaiety Girls were respectable, elegant young ladies, unlike the corseted actresses from London's earlier musical burlesques.[1] Later, even the stars of these musical comedies were referred to as Gaiety Girls.[2]
