EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Helena Millais in the role of Nance in the 1912 production of "Silver Creek." Helena Millais (1886-1970), a versatile actress and writer, is seen here in full cowgirl regalia, embodying the spirit of the American West during the early 1910s. With a confident and alluring pose, she wears a fitted blouse, high-waisted skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a ribbon. Her boots are tall and laced up to the thigh, complete with spurs that jingle as she moves. In her hand, she holds a revolver, adding to her wild and untamed image. The backdrop of the painted desert landscape further emphasizes the wild and untamed setting of the play. Millais' expressive face, with a hint of a smile playing on her lips, suggests a character full of depth and complexity. Her costume, with its authentic details, perfectly complements the era and genre of the production. Millais' portrayal of Nance in "Silver Creek" was undoubtedly a memorable one, showcasing her talent as a performer and her ability to captivate audiences with her charisma and charm.
