(b. **/**/**** - d. **/**/****). Actress. Early in 1918 the magazine [[Stage and Cinema]] announced that a nation-wide competition would be held to cast the roles of the queens in the film versions of ''[[King Solomon’s Mines]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Allan Quatermain]]''. The sole judge of the entries would be [[H. Lisle Lucoque]], who was to direct both pictures for [[African Film Productions]]. In the issue of 27 July 1918 it was announced that Edna Joyce of Pretoria would appear in the role of the Queen of Sheba in ''[[King Solomon’s Mines]]''. The following week her photograph appeared on the cover of the magazine. In the film she acted opposite [[Claude Ramsay]] as King Solomon, but it appears to have been her only role and it is not known what became of her. (FO)
