  • Beatrice Herford (1868–1952) was an American actress, diseuse and vaudeville performer born in England. The daughter of , a Unitarian minister, Herford spent her youth moving between England and the United States, following her father's changing jobs. In her twenties, she participated avidly in private theatricals, writing her own monologues. In 1895, she made her public debut at the Salle Érard in London, receiving favorable reviews. Two years later, she married Sidney Hayward, of Wayland, Massachusetts. She continued to deliver monologues both in public and in private. Her monologues, generally comic in nature, lampooned popular figures and types. Representative titles are "The Shop Girl" and "The Sociable Seamstress." Her brother, Oliver Herford, was a famous artist and humorist. In his 1906 book Are you a Bromide, Gelett Burgess uses Herford's monologues as an example of his division of personality types into the quotidian (Bromides) and non-conformist (Sulphitic). Miss Herford's inimitable monologues, being each the apotheosis of some typical Bromide—a shop-girl, a country dressmaker, a bargain-hunter and so on—become, through her art, intensely sulphitic. They are excruciatingly funny, just because she represents types so common that we recognize them instantly. Each expresses the crystallized thought of her particular bromidic group. Done, then, by a person who is herself a Sulphite par excellence, the result is droll. In 1904, Herford and her friends built a small theater on her husband's Wayland property and named it Beatrice Herford's Vokes Theatre after English actress Rosina Vokes (below). In 1937, Herford gave use of the theater to a group of actors organized as the Vokes Players. The group refurbished the theater and continues to perform in it. Herford died in 1952. (en)
