Pauline Markham
Pauline Markham (May. 1847 – March 20, 1919),〔Birth month derived from 1900 US Census〕 was an Anglo-American dancer and contralto singer active on burlesque and vaudeville stages over the latter decades of the 19th century. She began by performing juvenile rôles in Manchester, made her debut on the London stage at 20 and a year later New York, where for a few years she would find phenomenal success before her career settled into a long steady decline. The critic Richard Grant White once described Markham’s singing as vocal velvet and her arms as the lost arms of the Venus de Milo.〔(The Anderson Auction Company-Catalogue of America, 1903, p. 11 ) accessed October 19, 2012〕
==Early Life and Career==
Markham (née Margaret Hall or Hale)〔(Gänzl, Kurt - Lydia Thompson, Queen of Burlesque, 2002, p. 82 ) accessed October 25, 2012〕〔(Cushing, William, Initials and pseudonyms, 1895, p.491 ) accessed October 24, 2012〕 was born in England and began her acting career at an early age playing principle boy parts at the Princess Theatre, Manchester. She made her London debut, not too many years later, on November 15, 1867 at the Queen's Theatre in Wigan’s ''The First Night'' playing Rose, the intended debutant.〔Queen's Theatre.

Illustrated Times (London, Middlesex), November 16, 1867, p. 7〕 In late June, 1868 she appeared at the Queen’s Theatre in another Wigan play, ''Time and the Hour,'' of which one London critic said, “It is by no means good, and by no means bad.”〔The Theatrical Lounger. Illustrated Times (London, Middlesex), July 04, 1868, p. 11〕
