Miss Patrick Campbell

Miss Patrick Cambell ( Beatrice Stella Tanner ) a was famose english actress. She is well known to us by being 47 years old, the actress  brilliantly played  17 year old Eliza Doolittle in a play "Pygmalion".This role was written by  George Bernard Shaw especially for her.
Miss Cambell has mat Isadora and her brother accidently.She was walking near by and  saw  them dancing in the garden.Charmed by their grace and beauty the actress decided to intoduce them to the right people.  Here how Isadora write about this;

One night, in the Indian summer, Raymond and I were dancing in the gardens, when an extremely beautiful woman in a large black hat appeared and said, "Where on earth did you people come from?"

"Not from the earth at all," I replied, "but from the moon."

"Well," she said, "whether from the earth or the moon, you are very sweet; won't you come and see me?"

We followed her to her very lovely home in Kensington Square where marvellous pictures by Burne-Jones and Rossetti and William Morris reflected her image.

She was Mrs. Patrick Campbell. She sat at the piano and played to us and sang old English songs, and then she recited poetry for us, and finally I danced for her. She was magnificently beautiful, with luxurious black hair, great black eyes, a creamy complexion and the throat of a goddess.

She made us all fall in love with her and that meeting with her definitely rescued us from the state of gloom and depression into which we had fallen. It also inaugurated the epoch of a change of fortune, for Mrs. Patrick Campbell expressed herself so delighted with my dancing, that she gave me a letter of introduction to Mrs. George Wyndham. She told us that as a young girl she had made her début at Mrs. Wyndham's house, reciting Juliet. Mrs. Wyndham received me most charmingly, and I had my first experience of an English afternoon tea before an open fire.

Latter Campbell also hired Isadora to give her daughter Stella dance lessons.
Miss Patrick Cambell will keep in her personal collection of papers Isadora Duncan's 16 page autographed dance manual, that was illustrated by dancer's own hand. It was sold in auction in 2002.
