EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Evelyn Millard, the captivating actress who brought the 18th century heroine Lady Ursula to life in the 1909 revival of Anthony Hope's "The Adventure of Lady Ursula" at the Garrick Theatre in London, is depicted here in a striking image from the production. In this scene, Lady Ursula, disguised as her brother, dons the extravagant clothes he had ordered for an Ambassadors ball. The daring cross-dressing role required Millard to convincingly portray a man in women's clothing, a challenge she met with grace and panache. The Edwardian era, with its rigid gender norms, added an intriguing layer to the production, making Millard's performance all the more groundbreaking. The Adventure of Lady Ursula, first produced at the Duke of Yorks Theatre in 1898, was a popular adventure story that showcased Millard's versatility as an actress. Her ability to convincingly embody both the feminine grace of Lady Ursula and the masculine identity of her brother added depth to the character and left audiences in awe. This photograph, taken during the 1909 revival, captures a moment of transformation and intrigue, encapsulating the allure and excitement of live theatre in the early 1900s.
