ISS FANNY BROUGH is the daughter of Robert Brough (who died at the early age of thirty-two), the well-known journalist and dramatic author; her mother (who is still alive) being the niece of Miss Romer, the celebrated vocalist. Miss Brough was born in Paris, and made her first appearance in London on the stage of the St. James's, on October 15, 1870, in Sutherland Edwards' adaptation of "Fernande," in which she played the title rôle. After playing on tour, she appeared as Clara Douglas in Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft's celebrated revival of "Money." Miss Brough then went to the Gaiety, and was afterwards engaged by Mr. Charles Wyndham. Among Miss Brough's most conspicuous successes were Fuchsia Leach in "Moths," and her creation of Petrella in the Spanish play of "The Woman and the Law," for the excellence of which performance she was presented by Señor Leopoldo Casa-y-Mano, the author of the novel and original play, with his portrait, accompanied by a most complimentary letter. Miss Brough is now playing Mrs. Egerton Bompas in Mr. Pinero's new play, "The Times."
