Picture of Ruth Vincent as Elsie Maynard

[edit]

Are we sure this depicts Elsie? It doesn't look much like it to me, and the source site doesn't say what character Vincent is playing, though her name is mentioned apropos of a YoG revival. Tim riley (talk) 16:51, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

The same photo (although cropped differently and brightened) is so identified in Wilson and Lloyd's Gilbert & Sullivan, the Official D'Oyly Carte Picture History, p. 73, 1984. But I certainly see what you mean. Do you have an alternate theory? I just looked at every photo of her on the G&S Archive, and none match, although curiously a very large number of her photo links there, especially postcard links (at least half a dozen) seem to have gone dead. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:17, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Now I look at the volumes on my shelves there is a picture of Ilka Pálmay in a pretty much identical get up as Elsie in 1897 in Mander and Michenson's Picture History. One wonders what Percy Anderson was thinking of, but I think it's Elsie all right. Tim riley (talk) 17:28, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
I suppose this would be the wedding dress in Act II finale? -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:44, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
