-(b. Chelsea, London, **/**/1880 – d. **/**/1949?). British actress.  Edith Eva Morley was the daughter of Victorian actor Charles Cartwright (1855-1915), whose real name was Duncan John Morley.  Between February and August 1898 she accompanied her father on his second theatrical tour of Australia and is said to have made her first appearance on any stage as Edith Morley on 19 February of that year in ''The Squire of Dames'' at the Bijou Theatre in Melbourne.  While the number of performances was limited because of injuries sustained in a riding accident, she was well received by Australian audiences.  Writing in 1899, an enthusiastic critic from The Era, published in London, wrote: “Miss Morley is an attractive brunette, and divinely tall. Her features suggest intellectual power, and throughout she displays a high intelligence and a faculty of expression which should stand her in good stead.” Other plays in which she appeared were ''The Idler'', ''The Tree of Knowledge'' and ''The Middleman''.
