Here's a virtual movie of a fabulous recital of The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Lord Tennyson by the Victorian/Edwardian English actress Rose Coghlan (1851 - 1932) using the soundtrack from a very rare 78 rpm shellac record recorded in 1909.
Rose Coghlan (March 18, 1851 – April 2, 1932), English[1] actress was the sister of Charles Francis Coghlan.
She went to America in 1871 as part of Lydia Thompson's troupe touring the U.S.. She made her Broadway debut in 1872 in a musical. Coghlan was again in England from 1873 to 1877, playing with Barry Sullivan, and then returned to America. She became prominent as Countess Zicka in Diplomacy, and Stephanie in Forget-me-not. She was at Wallack's almost continuously until 1888, and subsequently appeared in melodrama in parts like the title-role of The Sporting Duchess.
Rose Coghlan died in 1932 in Harrison, New York. She had been married twice first to Clinton J. Edgerly from 1885 to 1890 and second to John T. Sullivan from 1890 to 1893. She had two children, an adopted daughter and a son.
