EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, taken in 1910, we find renowned English actor and theatrical manager Fred Terry (1863-1933) sharing a special moment with his talented daughter Phyllis Neilson-Terry, then performing under the name Phillida Terson. The father-daughter duo is captured backstage at London's prestigious His Majesty's Theatre, where they were bringing Shakespeare's Twelfth Night to life on stage. Fred Terry, an esteemed figure in the world of British theatre, is dressed in a smart suit and bow tie, exuding an air of authority and experience. His daughter, Phyllis, embodies the youthful energy and grace of Viola, the character she portrayed as Sebastian's sister in this production. Her elegant costume, complete with a high-necked blouse and full skirt, accentuates her delicate features and poised demeanor. The photograph offers a glimpse into the close bond between the actor and his actress daughter, as they prepare to step onto the stage and bring the Bard's timeless tale to life for audiences in the early 1910s. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich theatrical heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today. Fred Terry's impressive career spanned over five decades, and he is best known for his work as a Shakespearean actor and manager. Phyllis Neilson-Terry, on the other hand, went on to enjoy a successful acting career under her married name, becoming a respected figure in her own right. This photograph stands as a testament to their shared passion for the arts and their enduring love for the stage.
