Cissy Fitzgerald (1873-1941)


Photo-Multigraph by H.L. Bostwick
Halftone reproduction in Walter E. Woodbury, Photographic Amusements, New York 1896.

Justin Harwood mailed this information to me about his great-grandmother: "Cissy Fitzgerald appeared in a number of famous London and Broadway performances under the successful Vaudeville manager George Edwardes. A Gaiety Girl was first performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London in 1893. George Edwardes then brought the performance and cast to New York in 1894 and it was a huge success. Cissy was known as the girl with the wink (a very sexually suggestive thing to do in Victorian London). The Foundling was another Broadway hit and was performed at Daly's Theatre New York in 1895. Cissy was one of the first actresses to be captured on film by Edison in 1896. Cissy then went on to become a prolific actress in Hollywood: she appeared in 70 films, starting with The Accomplished Mrs Thompson in 1914 and ending with Patricia Gets Her Man in 1937."

There is no studio name on the back but because of the same chair and other similarities I believe it is from the Alexandra Studio, Toronto.
