About
The original Gaiety Theatre was located on the Strand, with a stage entrance on Wellington Street, across the road from the offices of Whistler’s London printers, the Ways. The artist made three lithographs of the back of the theater, drawn from the Ways’ windows. He attended performances there as well, making two paintings of a member of the dancing troupe, “Gaiety Girl” Connie Gilchrist, whom he posed in his studio skipping rope in a replication of her performances on stage.
