Terriss, Ellaline (1871–1971), English actress, daughter of William
Terriss. Born in the Falkland Islands while her father was sheep-farming there, she returned to England with her parents at an early age, and in 1888 made her first appearance on the stage at the
Haymarket Theatre under Tree. She was also with
Wyndham at the
Criterion Theatre for three years. She made a great success in the title-role of
Bluebell in Fairyland (1901), a children's play by her husband Seymour
Hicks revived annually at Christmas for many years, and also appeared with him in a number of his other plays, including
The Beauty of Bath (1906) and
The Gay Gordons (1907), though one of her best performances had been given somewhat earlier as Phoebe Throssel in
Barrie's Quality Street (1902). She accompanied Hicks on tour, both in straight plays and in
music-hall sketches, and went with him to France in the First World War to play to the troops, afterwards travelling with him in Australia and Canada. She left the stage in 1929, after appearing in a revival of Hick's
The Man in Dress Clothes, but returned briefly to play Mrs Thornton in his
The Miracle Man (1935).
