Page from The Tatler reporting on the marriage of Mrs Stirling

Page from The Tatler reporting on the marriage of Mrs Stirling (formerly Clare Elizabeth Taylor) of the Gaiety Theatre and Lord George Cholmondeley, second son of the Marquess of Cholmondeley. An American divorcee, Clara was a well-known actress at George Edwardes famous Gaiety Theatre. George had been left a legacy of 3000 by Lady Meux (herself a former actress) with the rather hypocritical stipulation that he should marry a lady of society. The Cholmondeleys marriage eventually ended in divorce. Date: 1911

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this snapshot from The Tatler, published on April 21, 1911, Page reports on the society wedding of the day: the marriage of American divorcee Clare Elizabeth Taylor, formerly known as Mrs. Stirling of the Gaiety Theatre, to Lord George Cholmondeley, the second son of the Marquess of Cholmondeley. The former actress, who had made a name for herself on the stage under the tutelage of George Edwardes at the famous Gaiety Theatre, was an intriguing figure in London society. Her marriage to Lord George, however, was not without controversy. Lord George had been left a substantial legacy of 3000 pounds by the former actress and peeress, Lady Meux, with the stipulation that he marry a lady of society. The Cholmondeley family, being part of the aristocracy, were pleased with the match, as it would secure their social standing. The society pages were abuzz with excitement over the upcoming nuptials, and the press eagerly documented every detail. The bride, resplendent in her wedding gown, is seen here with her new husband, Lord George, as they leave the church following their ceremony. The couple's marriage, however, would ultimately end in divorce, adding another layer to the intrigue and gossip surrounding their union. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century society, where the stage and the aristocracy intersected in unexpected ways.
