When Knighthood Was in Flower is a drama written in 1900 by Paul Kester, taken from the novel of the same name by Charles Major. Charles Frohman produced two productions on Broadway. The premier, January 14, 1901, at the Criterion Theater, starred Julia Marlowe and Bruce McRae. Frohman, in 1904, produced a revival of the show that he always had as principal performer, in the role of Maria Tudor, Julia Marlowe.

The drama, in four acts, is set in England and France during the reigns of Louis XII and Henry VII.

Notes[edit]

^ Agnes Palmer (full stage name Maude Agnes Palmer; née Maud Atkins Palmer; 1872–1962) married three times. Palmer first married – on June 2, 1897, in Manhattan at Grace Church – actor Oswald Yorke, an actor she met while performing on stage in 1897 with E. S. Willard's stock company, which she had joined earlier that year. Palmer grew-up in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. Agnes was the daughter of Lowell Mason Palmer (1834–1871) and Sarah Evelyn Palmer (née Sarah Evelyn Rogers; 1852–1940). Sarah, Agnes' mother, during childhood, changed her maiden name to Sarah Evelyn Atkins, taking on the surname of her uncle and maternal aunt, who became her adoptive parents upon the early deaths of her parents, John Foster Rogers (1825–1852) and Mercy C. Eldridge (maiden; 1830–1862). Her marriage with Oswald Yorke ended in divorce around 1904 in Colorado – Agnes filed, claiming non-support. She then married Earl Bryant Coe (1857–1908) and remained married to him until his death in 1908. She then – on September 5, 1914, in Manhattan – married English actor Henry C. Vincent (né Henry Rojas; 1877–1962), with whom she remained married until his death in 1962 in Queens, 4 months before hers in Manhattan.
^ Nella Webb (née Nella Kathrine Webb; 1876–1954) was a musical comedy actress who, among other things, plays Bopeep who sings "Don't Cry Bopeep" in the original production of Babes in Toyland. She grew-up in Harrison, Ohio. By way of her maternal grandmother, Ellen Jones (née Ellen Anna Wallace; 1829–1899), Nella was a 1st cousin, 2 times removed, of Union General and author of Ben Hur, Lew Wallace (1827–1905). That is, her maternal great-great grandparents, Andrew Wallace (1778–1826) and Eleanor Paul Jones (1778–1849) were the great grandparents of Lew Wallace. She spent the latter part of her life as an astrologer. She was close friends with actress Marie Dressler (1868–1934). While traveling in England, performing in The Chocolate Soldier, Nella married Isa Willard Hein (1878–1926) on February 19, 1911, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and divorced him, for willful absence, September 17, 1923, in Cincinatti. Hein had been the stage manager of The Chocolate Soldier production. Lyricist Harry Williams and composer Egbert Van Alstyne dedicated their song, "In Dear Old Georgia" (©1905), to Nella Webb. Composer Earl Taylor also dedicated his song, "My Southern Rose" (©1909), to Nella Webb.
