(b. **/**/**** - d. **/**/****) . Actress. In January 1919, S.A. Pictorial announced that the actresses to play the parts of the two rival queens in H. Lisle Lucoque’s film version of Allan Quatermain had been selected. Mabel May, the wife of I.W. Schlesinger, was to play Nyleptha, the Fair Queen, and the then unknown Elise Hamilton was to be Sorais, the Dark Queen. That same year she was also cast in the role of the tragic Isabel Clayton in Joseph Albrecht's Isban, based on the novel by George H. Cossins. In addition she appeared in at least two plays, namely Palace, Bedroom and Bath (1919) at His Majesty's Theatre (with Edith Cartwright, Hilda Attenboro, Florence Roberts and Harcourt Collett in the cast) and Thumbs Up! (1920) at the Empire Palace. (FO)
