Mary Ellaline Terriss, Lady Hicks
(born
Mary Ellaline Lewin
,
[1]
13 April 1871 – 16 June 1971), known professionally as
Ellaline Terriss
, was a popular British actress and singer, best known for her performances in
Edwardian musical comedies
. She met and married the actor-producer
Seymour Hicks
in 1893, and the two collaborated on many projects for the stage and screen.
The daughter of the actor
William Terriss
, Ellaline made her London stage debut at the age of 16 in
Cupid's Messenger
at London's
Haymarket Theatre
. Impressed with her performance, the producer
Charles Wyndham
gave her a three-year contract, under which she first played Madge in
Why Women Weep
. In 1892 Terriss starred in
Faithful James
(by
B. C. Stephenson
) and the following year she starred in the title role of
Cinderella
, produced by
Henry Irving
. She was featured in
W. S. Gilbert
's
His Excellency
in 1894, followed the next year by a starring role in the
George Edwardes
production of the musical
The Shop Girl
, playing alongside her husband. The next year she starred in another musical hit,
The Circus Girl
.
In 1897, her father was murdered by a deranged actor. As a result, she received much public sympathy, returning to the stage to star in
A Runaway Girl
in 1898, one of her most successful shows. In the 1900s, she starred in a series of long-running hits, including
Bluebell in Fairyland
(1901),
Quality Street
(1902),
The Catch of the Season
(1905) and
The Beauty of Bath
(1906). After 1910, Terriss concentrated on comedy roles and
music hall
tours. Her unsuccessful return to musical comedy,
Cash on Delivery
(1917), confirmed the wisdom of this new career course.
Her later career also included film roles. She began in the silent films
Scrooge
and
David Garrick
(both from 1913) and made a successful transfer to
talkies
; her last film was
The Four Just Men
in 1939. She died in Hampstead, England, at the age of 100.
