Show full cast and credits

Backstage in the music hall, an actress prepares for her performance.

Show full synopsis

The film shows Eva Bayley (sister-in-law of film pioneer G.A. Smith) as an actress (which she was in real life) in her dressing room preparing for a performance. It shows her making up and looking in the mirror.

Like Quick Change Act (1906), this may be an 'entr'acte' film, designed to be screened during a theatre show to cover a costume or scene change. The film shows in a humorous way what is supposedly happening off-stage
