To the left is a picture of Kyrle Bellew, a British stage and silent film actor. To the right is a picture of Cora Urquhart Brown-Potter, who was one of the first American society women to become a stage actress. I have great admiration for her. I toured in many road productions headed by them in the 1880s and 90s. One of my favorite roles I played while on tour is Lady Markby in An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. It was a very fun comedic role.
