Helen Ernstone

Helena Cécile Ernstone, (née Hélène Cecilia Schott; circa 1841 Gibraltar – 2 July 1933 Ferndown, Dorset, England)[1] was an English actress who appeared in London theatres from 1867 to 1881.

Ernstone began her professional career in provincial theatres, playing the role of Geraldine in Buckstone's The Green Bushes at The Canterbury Music Hall, Lambeth in 1867.

The Times wrote: "Among the novices are Miss Ernstone, from Manchester, a young lady of prepossessing appearance, who plays Ada Vandaleur... with much force".

[6] Also in 1870, she created the part of Katie Maguire in Inisfallen by Edmund Falconer at the Lyceum Theatre, London[7] and played Lizzie Hexham in another adaptation of a Dickens novel, Our Mutual Friend, at the Opera Comique.

"[9] In 1873 at Astley's Theatre, Ernstone played the title role in The Fair Rosamond by William Mower Akhurst (1822–1878).

[13] The following year, she appeared at the Olympic as Marguerite Duval in a melodrama called Mother[14] and at the Standard Theatre as Margaret Wentworth in Henry Dunbar.
