Featured Autographed 1902 Photo Who Is She?

Autographed photo signed and dated September 8, 1902. I have not been able to figure out who she is yet. I have been searching for actresses, singers and dancers of the time period, but so far no luck. Any help i appreceated.

 

You didn't say whether you could read the sig or not. Just in case not, it looks like Jane Lennox.

 

No I was not sure of the signature. Tried Jane Lennox, but did not get any results.

 

Is there a photography studio mark at all? or a location?

I did a search on singer "Jane Lennox" 1902 -- just guessing about the singer idea. I found a Virginia newspaper from early October 1902. It's hard to locate the exact article through their viewer. There are many news items in the article in which the headline refers to a show called "Janice Meredith." One of the news items is about a David Belasco show called "The Auctioneer." It refers to "The new leading woman, Miss Jane Lennox, who received the highest praise for her singing and her acting..."

What I quoted appears in the third column, under the picture that says it is a scene from "Janice Meredith."

Doesn't mean it's the same person, but at least there was somebody named Jane Lennox at that time who was performing in the U.S.

Normally I don't necessarily think a photo like this would be of a performer. But something about the formality of the inscription makes me think that she did not know the person to whom she signed the photo. So she could be a performer.

 

I found that Jane Lennox is mentioned frequently in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a player in the Mathews & Bulger company. The only information I found about her is as follows:
"Jane Lennox, of the Mathews and Bulger Company, now at the Columbia Theater, is a daughter of that well-known actor, Walter Lennox, Sr., now playing in London with
Broadhurst's What Happened to Jones Company, and a sister of Fred Lennox, the comic opera singer. She comes by her histrionic talent naturally."

That is about 1/3 of the way down in this link:

It's the San Francisco Dramatic Review from Sept. 9, 1899. She is mentioned a couple of times earlier in the issue.

 

One more... found an interesting article about the Thomas Lennox, father of Walter Lennox and grandfather of Jane Lennox. He was also an actor. Second column on this page.

Thank Figtree for all of the links and time you spent doing this.

 

Alas, she was ahead of her time. She had the looks for radio which wouldn't become popular for another 20 years.
