G.B.S. Wrote Love Letters To Her
Mrs. "Pat," Darling of the Victorian Stage, Became Famous in a Night
MRS. PATRICK CAMPBELL, one of the last links with the Victorian drama, who has died at Pau, France, aged 75, will be remembered as a great actress who be- came famous in a night.
Her appearance as Paula in Pinero's "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" at the St. James's gained her an immediate triumph and brought all London to see the woman who was to become "darling of the Victorians," for whom Shaw and Barrie wrote play after play.
That was nearly 50 years ago, and Mrs. "Pat" was still playing the part of Paula for 30 years afterwards.
She was a tragedienne with a deep golden voice. Her peculiar form of emotion easily lent itself to burlesque and to this day women mimics on the stage delight in
jrecalling her voice.
