Emily Fowler

[1] In 1867, she joined the Royalty Theatre as a chorister and was soon made a replacement in the breeches role of Gnatbrain in F. C. Burnand's long-running musical burlesque of Black-Eyed Susan.

[1] She also originated the leading part of Hans in the last piece of the season, The Gentleman in Black, a comic opera written in 1870, with a libretto by W. S. Gilbert and music by Frederic Clay.

[1][7] In 1871, she toured with Henry Neville in Dion Boucicault's Elfie, playing Rosie Aircastle and Sam Willoughby in The Ticket-of-Leave Man.

[6] With Neville's company in 1873 at the Olympic, she played Florence in Mystery, Kate in Sour Grapes, Martha Gibbs in All That Glitters and Suzanne in The School for Intrigue, an adaptation of The Marriage of Figaro.

Rutland Barrington, who appeared with Fowler in Lady Clancarty, called her "one of the most delightful soubrettes that ever graced the stage".

[7] Around this time Fowler wed John Callin Pemberton, the son of the actress Amy Sedgwick.

In 1881 she joined Henry Irving's company to play Emily de L'Esparre in a revival of The Corsican Brothers at the Lyceum Theatre.

She seems to have been in China, from where she returned to Britain in 1894 to play Lady Winifred Skipton in An Aristocratic Alliance, an adaptation of Le Gendre de M. Poirier, at the Criterion Theatre for Charles Wyndham.
