Pantomime (English)
From the Latin Pantomimus— the all-imitator. A play or part of a play where the plot is entirely represented by action without dialogue. The term is sometimes applied to any foolery on the stage. The Christmas pantomime which is now the generally accepted idea of the term is an entertainment based on a nursery tale. Cinderella, Babes in the wood and Aladdin are the most popular in order of merit. (English)
