(1894) Sir George John Scott Warrender, 7th Bt. Image published in Daisy of Pless: The Happy Years   Role: Pity in The Masque of War and Peace. Date: 14 February 1900. Occasion: The Masque of War and Peace, written by Louis N. Parker, music by Hamish MacCunn, organised by Mrs. Arthur Paget in aid of the Widows and Orphans of the Household Troops, Her Majesty's Theatre, London, 13 February 1900. Lady Maud Warrender, My First Sixy Years, Cassel & Company, London, 1933 [p 70] In 1899 Louis N. Parker wrote A Masque of War and Peace. It was arranged as a Beor War Charity Matinée by Minnie Paget, and produced by Beeerbohm Tree at His Majesty’s Theatre. Percy Anderson designed the costumes, both for the Masque and [p 71] for the Procession of Great Britain and her Colonies which followed. I think I am right in saying that the result of the performance was Ten Thousand Pound. [sic] Gervase Elwes made his first appearance as a singer on that occasion. I had to appear twice. As “Mercy” in the Masque and as Newfoundland in the Pageant. Féo Alington was a gorgeous “India” loaded with the most magnificent jewels, lent by one of the Maharajas.
