Portrait of Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree
It was during Beerbohm Tree's time in Rosary Gardens that he made the transition from acting to management, first at the Comedy Theatre and then the Haymarket. Tree staged Wilde's A Woman of No Importance and George du Maurier's Trilby. His other achievements included opening Her Majesty's Theatre and co-founding the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He played Professor Higgins opposite Mrs Patrick Campbell's Eliza Doolittle in the first English production of Shaw's Pygmalion.
