Agnes Bartholomew (1885 – 10 September 1955) was a Scottish stage actress, singer, and "one of the leading elocutionists in Britain."[1]

Early life and education

Bartholomew was born in Glasgow, the daughter of parents from Stirlingshire. She studied acting with Genevieve Ward, at Tree's Academy of Dramatic Art in London.[2][3] "My family didn't want me to go on the stage, but they have changed their minds since," she told a Canadian newspaper in 1912.[4]

Career

Bartholomew acted on the stage in Merely Mary Ann, Diana of Dobson’s, Mrs Gorringe’s Necklace, The Little Minister, The Professor's Love Story, The £12 Look,[1] Christina (1911),[5] Auntie Mirren (1914),[6] The Old Lady Shows her Medals (1919, 1928),[7][8] Macpherson, and Wee Macgreegor.[2] She was a member of the Glasgow Repertory Theatre.[2] She often played older women, even in her twenties.[9] She appeared on Broadway in the comedy A Scrape o' the Pen (1912).[10][4] She worked on one film, A Man Called Peter (1955), but her scenes were cut before the film was released.[11]

Bartholomew made recordings reciting the works of Robert Burns and other Scots poets, and recited at Burns dinner events.[12] As her first husband was secretary to the Trades House of Glasgow,[3] she was active in charity work for that body.[2] She sang at a 1919 benefit for blinded soldiers and sailors, in Kilmarnock.[13]

Bartholomew performed in Canada and the United States in 1922.[14][15] In 1934, while touring in Canada again, she gave a recital for the Scottish Charities of Vancouver.[16][17]

Personal life

Bartholomew married Harry Lumsden in 1914; he died in 1939. Her second husband was English actor Holmes Herbert; they married in 1952. She died in 1955, in Glasgow, after several months' illness.[2] Her gravesite is with her second husband's, in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
