• OLGA NETHERSOLE (1863- )

NETHERSOLE (1863- )  , English actress, of Spanish descent, was born in London, and made her stage debut at Brighton in 1887 . From 1888 she played important parts in London, at first under John Hare at the Garrick, and in 1894 took the Court Theatre on her own account . She also toured in Australia and America, playing leading parts in modern plays, notably Clyde Fitch's Sapho (produced in London in 19o2), which was strongly objected to in New York . Her powerful emotional acting, however, made a great effect in some other plays, such as Carmen, in which she again appeared in America in 1906 .
