1906 LONDON ADELPHI THEATRE Comyn Carr Tristram Iseult

The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, September 15th, 1906, "Tristram and Iseult," by J. Comyns Carr, at the Adelphi Theatre.

   1- Miss Lily Brayton, as Iseult, and Mr. Matheson Lang, as Sir Tristram.

   2- Miss Edith Wynne-Matthison, as Brangwaine, Iseult's attendant.

   3- Mr. Oscar Asche, as Mark, King of Cornwall,

   4- The death of Tristram, showing King Mark (Mr. Oscar Asche), Sir Tristram (Mr. Matheson Lang), Sir Andred (Mr. Charles Rock), and Iseult (Miss Lily Brayton).

Our  first picture of this latest version of the old story shows the lovers in Ireland after Iseult has cured Tristram of his wound and just before the latter (whose fatal identity is unknown) goes forth to battle for his love, only, however, to claim her as the bride of his King.  Our last picture (No. 4) shows the lovers, who have returned from Ireland and drunk the fatal draught, tracked to their forest bower by the King and the villain, Andred, who runs his sword through Sir Tristram from the rear and then leaves him and Iseult to die together.
