  Dame Irene Vanbrugh (1872-1949) - Actors from the Golden Age of the Theatre
Irene Vanbrugh (or Irene Barnes as she was first named) was born in Exeter (UK) on December 2, 1872.
As one of Britain's highest regarded dramatic actresses, Irene Vanbrugh continued, after her marriage, to chose her own parts and to be constantly in demand.
But the standard set there by Irene Vanbrugh of what great acting should be, is so high that we come away without critical facilities sharpened and a conviction that if this is what really ought to be, we have been perilously near to accepting well-meant, complacent effort for the real thing.

In 1897 Violet, together with her sister Irene, accompanied her husband on a tour of America playing in various farces and comedies.
