Adrienne Augarde
Adrienne Adele Augarde (12 May 1882 – 17 March 1913) was a British actress and singer popular for nearly a decade on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, primarily for her roles in Edwardian musical comedy.
She began her career in 1898 in pantomime and small roles in musical comedy and opera, before gaining wide popularity playing leading roles in the popular musicals produced by George Edwardes. She also appeared in a few dramas. After starring in a number of long-running productions in London and New York from 1903 to 1912, Augarde embarked on an American vaudeville tour. During the tour, she fell ill and died, after a failed appendectomy, at the age of 30.
==Early life and career==
Augarde was born in Westminster, London, the first child and only daughter of Frank Wells Augarde, a violinist, and his wife Henrietta Catherine, ''née'' Van Achter, a singer.〔Sardeson, p. 18〕 The Augardes came from a long theatrical and musical tradition. Members of the family included an organist of St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, a clarinettist in the London Symphony Orchestra, a contralto in the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company chorus, and a musical comedy actress.
In November 1898 Augarde was cast by the impresario J Pitt Hardacre as Miss Muffet, principal girl in the pantomime ''Red Riding Hood'', which starred George Robey.〔"Christmas Carnival IV", ''The Stage'', 15 December 1898, p. 11; and "Amusements in Manchester", ''The Era'', 4 February 1899, p. 9〕 In the following year she appeared in Edwardian musical comedy ''Little Miss Nobody'', by Harry Graham and Arthur E. Godfrey, in London and on tour, in the role of Maggie.〔"The London Theatres", ''The Era'', 4 March 1899, p. 12〕 The correspondent of ''The Stage'' wrote, "a most winsome young lady, and charmingly does she act and sing. If we mistake not, she will come well to the front."〔"Dublin", ''The Stage'', 27 April 1899, p. 3〕 In 1900 she appeared in the first touring production of the hit musical comedy ''Florodora'' as Angela Gilfain; her aunt Amy Augarde played Dolores.〔"Amusements in Glasgow", ''The Era'', 2 June 1900, p. 7〕 The theatrical newspaper ''The Era'' said, "Miss Adrienne Augarde enhanced the high opinion already held here of her abilities, and sang and danced with an entire absence of theatrical affectation."〔 She later joined the chorus of the J. W. Turner Opera Company, where her father was leader of the orchestra for many years. She soon rose to assume principal parts.〔Sardeson, p. 47〕
