Helena Modjeska

(12 October, 1840 - 8 April, 1909)    Polish Actress

Modjeska was acclaimed "the greatest Polish actress" by the press and audiences at the Warsaw Government Theaters (1869-1876). Her stage name "Modjeska" was adapted from the surname of her first husband Polish actor, Gustaw Zimajer; referencing the "couple Zejewscy." After a second marriage to nobleman, Karol Chlapowski at Krakow in 1868, she gained reputation among the social elite of Poland which magnified her career on stage. A skilled actor, she appeared in plays by: Slowacki, Schiller, Dumas, Ibsen, Shakespeare, and others. She immigrated with her husband to the United States in 1876, residing in Anaheim, California. Continuing her stage career she appeared in the leading dramatic theaters (New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Washington, and San Francisco). Modjeska toured London in 1880, 1881, and 1885. Her continued success (206 tours) provided her own theatrical troupe and a private railroad car for her comforts traveling America. She became a US citizen in 1883, but continued to return to her native Poland for performances. She was publicly honor at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1905 at the arrangement of her friend, Ignacy Paderewski. She ended her acting career in 1907. Modjeska died in California, and was buried according to her wishes at Rakowicki Cemetery in Krakow, Poland.

Charles W Hastings, (ed.), The Photographic Societies' Reporter:

"The subject of our illustration this month is Mr. Alexander Keighley, President of the Bradford Photographic Society and of the Keighley and District Photographic Association. He is a young man to occupy two presidential chairs, but has already shown himself to be an artist as well as a photographer. He will be known to most of our readers through his success in the last 'Home Portraiture' Competition of the Amateur Photographer; the work which he contributed gaining for him the distinguished honour of a gold medal at the hands of the late J. R. Herbert, R.A., A. M. Rossi, and H. P. Robinson. Mr. Keighley's skill as a writer is testified by the essay which accompanied 'Prize Pictures' (No. 1), in which were reproduced several of the photographs which secured him the gold medal referred to."
