Mary Gladstane (born in the 19th-century) was an Irish-American actress of the 19th-century who had a considerable career in Australia, along with her husband and manager, L. M. Bayless.
[7] She arrived in Australia with Bayless, as husband and manager, and from 9 July 1870 played Tom Taylor's newly published drama Mary Warner[8] at the Princess Theatre, Melbourne.
That same night, Mrs Bandmann opened at the Prince of Wales Opera House, Sydney, in the "correct translation" of Frou-Frou by Sutherland Edwards of the Pall Mall Gazette, as performed at the Olympic Theatre, London.
[9] One critic found Gladstane, not unnaturally, better settled into the part and on the whole gave the better performance but was over-melodramatic in the final (reconciliation and death) scene; both deserved a better vehicle.
In 1885 Bayless was still in America, in trouble with a debt collector, and was forced to hand over the "gold ring with three brilliants".
