Helen Vincent


According to an advertisement in the classified columns of the Times (2 July 1883), Miss Helen Vincent 'from the American theatres' made her first appearance in England on Thursday 12 July as Juliet in Romeo and Juliet at the Strand Theatre, London. A short review appeared in the same journal the following day: ‘A matinée at the Strand Theatre yesterday enabled a young American actress, Miss Helen Vincent, to make a promising début upon the English stage in the character of Juliet. It may be doubted whether the poetical drama is the best means for the display of this lady’s powers. The performance, however, was satisfactory as showing the possession of a vigorous dramatic instinct at present untrained.’
