Miss Marion Terry is a clever member of a clever family, and her
ability developed itself early. Already at the age of six (as in the
first portrait above given) she was appearing in the part of little
_Sybil_ in Tom Taylor's play, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing." This
childish effort was followed up by others more successful still, and,
at the age at which our second portrait represents her, she had made
a strong impression, as a mature actress, in the exacting part of
_Ophelia_. Then she appeared in several of Mr. W. S. Gilbert's dramas,
as _Dorothy_ in "Dan'l Druce," and as _Galatea_ in "Pygmalion and
Galatea." Since that time Miss Marion Terry has played many parts, and
with the same unvarying success, in which her natural capacity is aided
by her grace of action and the striking charm of her appearance.
