Summary
Black and white portrait photograph on a postcard of two actors, both female on rocks of a stage set. One standing, pointing, dressed in a loose shirt and dark tights, the other seated wearing a long skirt and cloak. Printed below 'Miss Cecilia Loftus & Miss Hilda Trevelyan','181 C Matt, G 181 C Glossy, J. Beagles & Co.', and 'Ellis & Walery'. Hilda Trevelyan is in the same costume as she is in 1337232 as Wendy, so this must be photograph of a production of "Peter Pan", and Cecilia Loftus played Peter in the 1905 production at the Trafalgar Square Theatre (which later became the Duke of York's).
Provenance
Given to the National Trust with Snowshill Manor in 1951 by Charles Paget Wade.
