REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST: She could do Everything: Opera, operetta, burlesque, music hall and comedy! One critic called her "the Patti of light entertainment". The British stage artist Florence St. John was one of the most influential theatre figures of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. She shone as Offenbach's Périchole, Grande-Duchesse and Madame Favart, celebrated triumphs at the Savoy Theatre in the works of Gilbert & Sullivan and was the eternal Nell Gwyn in a popular play by Robert Planquette about the life and love of the legendary mistress of Charles II. In the 1890s, the artist made several guest appearances in the United States. Florence St. John was married four times; she was 14 years old when she married for the first time. She experienced violence and passion; her biography provides material for several novels. The artist, born Florence Margaret Grieg, died at the age of 56 and was buried in Golders Green Cemetery in London.

Seldom What They Seem

by Patricia Penrose (Author) As posted by the author on Kindle Vella. According to Gilbert and Sullivan, “Things are seldom what they seem.” Nora Keen, a lowly dresser at the Savoy Theatre in San Francisco, is content to live in the shadows. But now, her friendship with Comic Opera star Olivia Stanhope will thrust Nora into the limelight and into danger as well. Here are some intriguing…

From the Archives: This Day in Julie-history My Fair Lady Opening Night Supper Savoy Hotel, London, 30 April 1958

66 years ago, Julie Andrews made her triumphant bow in the London opening of My Fair Lady at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Following the opening night performance, after-show parties were arranged at various venues around the West End. Producer Herman Levin hosted a party at the Dorchester which was attended by Stanley Hollaway and Cecil Beaton. Rex Harrison was guest at a supper held by the US Ambassador, Jock Hay Whitney and wife at Wingfield House. Hugh "Binkie" Beaumont, head of Tennent theatres, hosted another party at his home in Westminster (London 1958, p.3). True to homely form, Julie Andrews opted for a small private party at the Savoy Hotel attended by family and friends including Claire Bloom and Maggie Smith (London 1958, p.3). Guests dined on a special menu designed by the chefs of the Savoy Restaurant with bespoke dishes such as Le Suprême de Volaille Julie and Le Soufflé My Fair Lady.

Life magazine reported that Julie was "wrung out" as she and her family nervously awaited the critics' verdict. "But when the papers came, she was suddenly wide awake, on her feet and ready to dance all night" (Thompson 1958, p. 24).
