- “Maude Ewing Kiskadden (November 1, 1872 – July 17, 1953), known professionally as Maude Adams, was an American actress who achieved her greatest success as the character Peter Pan, first playing the role in the 1905 Broadway production of Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. Adams's personality appealed to a large audience and helped her become the most successful and highest-paid performer of her day, with a yearly income of more than one million dollars during her peak. Adams began performing as a child while accompanying her actress mother on tour. At age 16, she made her Broadway debut, and under Charles Frohman's management, she became a popular player alongside leading man John Drew, Jr. in the early 1890s. Beginning in 1897, Adams starred in plays by J. M. Barrie, including The Little Minister, Quality Street, What Every Woman Knows and Peter Pan. These productions made Adams the most popular actress in New York. She also performed in various other plays. Her last Broadway play, in 1916, was Barrie's A Kiss for Cinderella. After a 13-year retirement, she appeared in more Shakespeare plays and then taught acting in Missouri. She finally retired to upstate New York.”—From Wikipedia.
- One photograph shows Adams in costume for the role of Juliet (“Romeo and Juliet”), in 1900; the other shows her as Napoleon II of France (i.e., François-Charles-Joseph, Herzog von Reichstadt Bonaparte) in the Edmond Rostand play “L’Aiglon,” also in 1900, foreshadowing her portrayal of another male, Peter Pan, five years later. 590: Berg Collection copy of the “Juliet” cabinet photograph with circular print shop label of George B.
