BiographyHistory

In 1924 the Sydney Morning Herald reported: 'General interest was taken in the recent telegram from Melbourne announcing that Lady Patricia Blackwood had accepted an engagement to play a small part in "The Cabaret Girl," which opens a season at Her Majesty's Theatre to-morrow evening. It seems that Sir George Tallis recently met Lady Patricia at a luncheon party, and, being much struck by her resemblance to [Maggie Albanesi], the young actress who passed away in London a few months ago, suggested that she might have a special aptitude for the stage. Almost at once Lady Patricia signed a contract, and will make her debut in the presence of the Governor-General and many of her friends to-morrow evening. The new recruit is slightly above middle height, and is generally recognised as graceful in figure and handsome in face.'

Notes

  • Lady Patricia Blackwood performed under the stage name of Pamela Dartrey.
  • The June 1932 issue of The Home contains the following: 'Lady Patricia Russell (whom you remember as Lady Patricia Blackwood) ... pulled off a winning double. Her new novel, The Heartless Traveller, had just been published by Hamish Hamilton, Ltd., and bids fair to be a great success. It's a rattling good story about embassies, a novelist adventuress, and all the types which Lady Patricia knows so well since she exchanged Bombazine for Bohemia. Then she...made a good coup at the Cannes Casino. Playing Baccarat...We supped to celebrate her success before she left for her villa at Antibes.' (appears in the topical column, 'This, That and Them' by London correspondent T. H. Cochran)
