EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Gertie Rex, Scotland's greatest comedienne, in her iconic male impersonation act as a Scottish soldier. Dressed in full regalia, complete with a traditional kilt and sporran, Gertie Rex playfully subverts gender roles and expectations on the music hall stage. The image, circa 1916, showcases the theatrical entertainer's ability to captivate audiences with her impeccable comedic timing and charisma. The signed card accompanying the photograph adds an intimate touch, further emphasizing the personal connection between Gertie Rex and her devoted fans. This photograph is a testament to the power of entertainment and the enduring appeal of cross-dressing in the early 20th century music hall scene. With her unique blend of humor and androgyny, Gertie Rex continues to intrigue and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich history of theatrical performance and gender expression.
