EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Portrait from Theatreland: Elizabeth Arkell, (Estimated Birth Year: 1891-1892) - A Promising Actress of the 1920s This studio portrait features Elizabeth Arkell, an accomplished actress who made her mark in the theatrical world with a series of successful child roles. Her impressive repertoire includes parts in productions such as The Rising Generation and The Devil's Disciple. In this image, taken by renowned photographer Yvonne Gregory in 1925, Elizabeth is seen seated, her expressive eyes conveying a sense of maturity beyond her years. However, the young actress has now graduated from child parts and is making her mark as a leading lady. Her current role is that of the young wife in the play "Are you a Mason?" at the Kingsway Theatre. This transition from child actor to leading lady is a testament to her talent and versatility. Photographed by the esteemed Yvonne Gregory (1889-1970), this portrait captures the essence of a promising actress on the rise in the 1920s theatrical scene. With her captivating presence and undeniable talent, Elizabeth Arkell was poised to leave a lasting impression on the stage and in the hearts of her audiences."
