Me!  Sitting in Irene Mawer’s chair, reading one of her mime books.   Irene Mawer (1893-1962).

Jane May, a French woman, was a world famous mime around 1900. I would like to know more about her. Please get in touch if you know of her.

Effie Stewart Williams (1887-1995) was a dancer. She had anatomical expertise and helped with the Ginner-Mawer School of Dance and Drama. If you have heard of Effie, please contact me.

Dorothy Glover worked with Irene Mawer and wrote a book of music for mime (see photo). Have you ever heard of Dorothy Glover (from England, I presume)?

57 years ago today (1st December 2019), Irene Mawer suffered a fatal stroke at her home in Blewbury, England.  She died, aged 69 years.
