Amy Roselle


Amy Roselle (1854 - 17 November 1895) was an English actress who performed in Britain, the U.S. and Australia. She specialised in Shakespearean roles but also played parts in contemporary dramas. She married Arthur Dacre, and the two toured together with their own theatre company, eventually traveling to Australia. There, they committed suicide together in 1895.
==Biography==
Roselle was the youngest of twelve children of the headmaster of the Glastonbury Grammar School. Her brother Percy was a dwarf and played children's parts into adulthood in pantomimes at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane as "Master Percy Roselle".〔Sims, George R. ''My Life: Sixty Years' Recollections of Bohemian London'', pp. 190–93, Eveleigh Nash Company (1917)〕
Her first role, as a juvenile, was Constance in a version of ''King Arthur''. After this, her father leased the Cardiff and Swansea theatres for two years. At these theatres, Roselle played in Shakespeare and other productions. She debuted in London at the Haymarket Theatre. There, at age 16, she played Lady Teazle and then, opposite Samuel Phelps, numerous leading parts. She replaced Madge Kendal in ''Diplomacy'' and played Esther Eccles in ''Caste'', by T. W. Robertson. She appeared opposite Mary Anderson as Cynisca in ''Pygmalion and Galatea'' by W. S. Gilbert and created the other Gilbert roles, including Darine in ''The Wicked World'' (1873) and Eve in ''Charity'' (1874). She also performed at the Adelphi Theatre and other London theatres.〔(Biography of Roselle ) at ''History of Australian Theatre'' website, accessed 19 May 2009〕 In 1875, she created the role of Mary Melrose in the sensation ''Our Boys'', which was the longest-running play in history up to that time.〔Booth, Michael R. Review of plays by H. J. Byron including ''Our Boys'' in ''The Modern Language Review'', Vol. 82, No. 3, pp. 716-17 (July 1987; Modern Humanities Research Association)〕
Roselle toured the United States with E. A. Sothern, appearing in New York at Niblo's Garden. She then returned to England and starred as Lady Macbeth opposite Henry Irving at the Lyceum Theatre, London, during the illness of Ellen Terry. She also played Queen Katherine of Aragon in ''Henry VIII'' at the Lyceum. Roselle appeared in the title role of ''Esther Sandraz'' at the Prince of Wales's Theatre and created the role of Lillian in ''Old Love for New''.〔 In 1881, she originated the role of Mrs. Blythe in F. C. Burnand's long-running comedy, ''The Colonel''.
During a long engagement at the Royal Court Theatre, she met doctor-turned-actor Arthur James (stage name Arthur Dacre), and the two eventually married around 1881. Roselle was in more demand than her husband, but the two insisted on being engaged jointly. In January, 1885 the couple appeared in Grundy's ''The Silver Shield'' at the Royal Strand Theatre, and for several years toured together in the British provinces, but eventually they had trouble getting a joint engagement and, out of work, ran up debts. A benefit performance was held for Roselle at the Lyceum Theatre on 16 June 1887, at which ''Trial by Jury'' was performed.〔Gänzl, p. 96〕 Eventually Roselle and Dacre travelled to Australia where they played in Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney (at Her Majesty's Theatre) and elsewhere. They did not succeed in paying off their debts, however, and became despondent.〔 They committed suicide together in Australia in 1895. Dacre shot Roselle, but ran out of bullets and had to cut his own throat.〔Richards, Leann. ("Amy and Arthur Dacre 1895", ) ''History of Australian Theatre'', accessed 19 May 2009. See also ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 18–20 November 1895〕
