Wilfrid Gabriel de Glehn (British, 1870 - 1951):

1. Portrait of Mavis Yorke, ca. 1920.

2. Mavis Yorke dancing in 'Where the Rainbow Ends', 1913, oil on canvas, 44 × 34 inches.

3. Miss Mavis Yorke, child actress and dancer. Original photograph, pub. 1916.

"Celebrated as a child actress, Mavis Yorke made her debut in 1911 at the Savoy in 'Where the Rainbow Ends', a musical revue whose cast included a twelve-year-old Noel Coward, playing a naughty page boy. Later, Coward recalled Yorke as 'a fragile little thing... she played Will O' the Wisp and was exquisite; she flitted through the woods and glades of the production to Roger Quilter's gentle music and there was in her a quality of magic'. (See N. Coward, Present Indicative, p. 27.)"

"De Glehn painted her as Will o'the Wisp in 1913, and again, seven years later in the present portrait."
