Roxy Barton

[1] During November 1900, Roxy gained a place in the cast of Message From Mars, a London company production preparing to tour Australia.

The pair performed in Message From Mars and other productions in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, and regional centres such as Charters Towers, Rockhampton and Bendigo.

[3] At some stage after his August appearance at the Melbourne's Bijou Theatre, Henry travelled to New York to make his Broadway debut with A Message from Mars.

Roxy Barton, the charmer of the Willoughby Geach Co., on whom Willoughby was a bit mashed, but Roxy was cold, and would not encourage him beyond receiving a bit of jewellery at his hands occasionally, has stepped from an extreme of dramatic art in Australia to the highest class in London, from farce to Shakespeare.

[8] Next she played Titania in Otho Stuart's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Adelphi Theatre (1905) opposite Oscar Asche as Bottom .

[9][10] Barton was also School for Scandal and The Rivals, and also appeared as Portia, Rosalind, etc., in the tour, that extended from December 1904 to the end of February 1905.

Mid-1905, Roxy performed at Stratford-on-Avon in a leading role in the Shakespearean season Mr. Benson gave in that town.

Miss Barton is much dazzled by the beauty and gaiety of the London parks, with their summer foliage and luxurious equipages.

Miss Barton was present at the first night of "Becket" at Drury-lane Theatre, and thought the great actor beyond expectation, "a wonderful man, who made everyone on the stage seem as nothing.

[13] Then, Caleb Porter was announced to appear as Egeus, and Roxy as Titania in Otto Stuart's presentation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, also at the London Adelphi on Saturday, November 25.

They married on 14 July 1906 at St Marylebone Parish Church in London,[17] after which they left for Penzance Cornwall and intended finishing their honeymoon in the Scilly Isles.

You will doubtless remember Miss Barton, a very tall, handsome girl, and a clever actress, who played several seasons in Sydney, notably rather a long one with The Message from Mars Company.

[23] Roxy and Henry returned to the U.S. at some point before 1911 and their daughter, the actress Jean Harriet Stephenson (1911–2004), was born there.

In 1923, listed as a housewife, Roxy and her daughter Jean sailed to Sydney in Australia on board the Euripides.

[27] After her divorce from Henry, Roxy never remarried, although she seems to have led the life of an international roamer, travelling regularly between New York, London and Australia.
