Miss Nellie Stewart, Handsome "Principal Boy" for Drury Lane Pantomime. 1899.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Sketch, December 13th, 1899," showing a Portrait Photograph for "Miss Nellie Stewart, Handsome "Principal Boy" for Drury Lane Pantomime."

An enormous favourite in Australia, she has become very popular in London.  She was one of the principal features at Mrs. Potter's The Concert at Clardi e's Hotel in aid of the funds for the hospital-ship "Maine."  She was possibly the smartest-dressed lady amongst London's smartest set.  She sang delightfully, and, in addition, sold cigarettes at enormous prices, realising £76 for the fund.  For this she received the pearl necklet offered by an anonymous donor to be handed to the lady who should do the most substantial begging during the afternoon.  Miss Stewart's wonderful snake-dress in last year's Drury Lane pantomime was a sensation, but this year we can look out for something more beautiful.  Don't be surprised to see Miss Stewart (who designs her own costume), in a wonderful armour-dress, making mincemeat of the Boer giants.

Condition is Very Good.
