EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the enchanting presence of Miss Florence Lloyd in her original role as Blanche Macyntyre in Roy Horniman's acclaimed play, "The Education of Elizabeth." The image, taken during the production's premiere at the Apollo Theatre on 19th October 1907, presents Lloyd in an elegant and sophisticated manner. She wears an exquisite high-necked blouse adorned with lace, accessorized with a luxurious feather boa, adding an air of theatrical glamour. The play, which marked Lloyd's breakthrough performance, tells the story of Elizabeth, a young woman who is deceived into believing she is being sent to a finishing school but instead is sold into marriage. Blanche Macyntyre, a character in the play, plays a pivotal role in the plot, providing guidance and support to Elizabeth. Following its successful run at the Apollo Theatre, "The Education of Elizabeth" was transferred to the Haymarket Theatre on 30th November 1907. The production then embarked on a tour, gracing the stage of the Theatre Royal, Brighton, on 2nd March 1908, under the direction of "Mr Tom B Davis Company." This photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of Lloyd's performance and the captivating nature of Edwardian theatre. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the stage was a place of wonder and excitement, where the stories of the day were brought to life by talented actresses like Miss Florence Lloyd.
