EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bold and amusing spirit of Dorothy Grimston, an Edwardian actress who defied societal norms with her unapologetic on-stage presence. Daughter of renowned actress Madge Kendall, Dorothy made her mark in the theatrical world with her role in The Golden Silence, which played at the prestigious Garrick Theatre in 1903. In this image, Dorothy exudes an air of confrontation as she confidently puffs on a cigarette, an act that was considered scandalous for women of her time. Her hat sits jauntily atop her head, adding to the humorous and playful tone of the portrait. Dorothy's rebellious and humorous demeanor was a breath of fresh air in the staid and traditional world of Edwardian theatre, making her a beloved figure among audiences. This photograph is a testament to Dorothy's groundbreaking career and her ability to challenge the conventions of her time, leaving a lasting impact on the stage.
