EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting presence of Lily Elsie, a renowned English actress and singer, during her prime years on the London stage. Born Elsie Cotton in Yorkshire, Elsie rose to prominence as the most popular actress of her time, gracing the stages of Daly's Theatre and the Palace Theatre. In this image, taken in 1917, she is seen with her beloved dog, a cherished companion during her successful run in the play 'Pamela' at the Palace Theatre.

With her expressive eyes and radiant smile, Lily Elsie embodied the essence of grace and charm, leaving an indelible mark on the history of British theatre.
