Mrs Patrick Campbell & Lady Randolph Churchill

An interesting photograph showing the acclaimed stage beauty, Mrs Patrick Campbell (1865-1940), born Beatrice Stellar Tanner (pictured centre), in the same photograph as Mrs George Cornwallis-West (Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Jennie Jerome, mother of Winston Churchill). Lady Randolph married George Cornwallis-West, a man twenty years her junior, in 1900. George began an affair with 'Mrs Pat' around 1909 and he and Jennie separated in 1912. She reverted to her old title of Lady Randolph Churchill and later married Montagu Porch. Picture shows the cast of 'His Borrowed Plumes,' a comedy play written by Jennie. Left to right top row, Miss Winifred Emery, Mr Henry Ainley, Mr Dawson Milward, Miss Stella Patrick-Campbell and seated Miss Annie Hughes and Lady Randolph Churchill. Date: 1914
