In 1901 Miss Crane toured it here again, this time with the husband she married in 1898, English actor, Tyrone Power senior (father of the famous American movie actor). They performed ‘Trilby’ and ‘Tess of the d’Urbervilles’, ‘The Three Musketeers’ and ‘Taming of the Shrew’ for the J.C Williamson company.[1]
Mr Power and Edith Crane lived in Melbourne for some time, performing in various plays at the Princess Theatre, but it was a depressed economy and they upped sticks for America. Playing Trilby in San Franscisco, promoters published full-page photos in the newspapers of her size 3 shoes. The character Trilby is said to have perfect feet, and originally earns her living as an artists’ model.[1]
Interviewed in the Baldwin Hotel, San Francisco by celebrated journo Frank Norris in October 1896, Miss Crane was said to be very tall and fair, and she explained what a difficult role Trilby was, “to express her unconstrained and free-mannered, yet not hoydenish or vulgar”. Playing tragedy was hard, and if the audience was distracted it made her irritable, she said, but comedy was harder, with “vivacity and rapidity having to appear spontaneous”. After “five months” of being Trilby every night, she said, she loathed it.[1]
Tyrone Power Sr. wedded Australian performer Edith Crane in 1898. The two had great success in New York.
Edith died on January 3, 1912 of complications from surgery to remove a tumorous mass from her chest.
