EDITORS COMMENTS
Laura Cowie: A Young and Promising Actress Embarks on a Transatlantic Voyage with Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson This photograph captures the youthful and radiant countenance of Laura Cowie (1892-1962), an up-and-coming actress, as she playfully peeps from behind an ornate curtain. The year was 1914, and Cowie was about to embark on an exciting new chapter in her career. She was to sail across the Atlantic Ocean to join Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, a renowned British actor, as his leading lady in a theatrical production in America. Cowie's appearance in this photograph is striking, with her pretty features accentuated by a delicate hat adorned with a ruff and a richly textured brocade costume. The curtain, with its intricate patterns and luxurious fabric, adds an air of mystery and anticipation to the scene. The playful expression on Cowie's face suggests a sense of excitement and adventure as she prepares to begin her journey. Forbes-Robertson was a highly respected figure in the world of theatre, and Cowie's selection as his leading lady was a significant milestone in her career. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of theatre during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of the talent and promise of a young actress who went on to make a name for herself in the world of stage and screen.
