Winifred Hart-Dyke (2 December 1881 – March 1976) was an English dancer and actress associated with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and Edwardian Musical Comedy. Her surname appears with and without the hyphen.

Early life

Winifred Amy Hart Dyke was born in Colchester, the daughter of Frederick Hotham Hart Dyke and Emily Thorndike. Her father was a professor of military studies at Cambridge University. Her great-grandfather was Sir Percival Hart Dyke (1767–1846). Sir William Hart Dyke, 7th Baronet, was a cousin.[1] She studied ballet with Malvina Cavalazzi Mapleson.[2]

Career

Hart-Dyke appeared in several comic opera productions with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company between 1900 and 1903, including The Rose of Persia, The Emerald Isle, Iolanthe, Merrie England and A Princess of Kensington.[3] A reviewer of Merrie England, in Punch magazine, called her "one of the most graceful, most spirited, and inspiriting of danseuses I have seen for a long time."[4]

She was then in the original London cast of the Edwardian musical comedies The Earl and the Girl (1903),[5] Little Hans Anderson (1903) and The Catch of the Season (1905).[3] In 1907 she was a solo dancer in Amasis, an Egyptian-themed light opera.[6][7] In 1908, she appeared in The Girl From Across the Border.[3]

Personal life

Hart-Dyke married Cyril Arthur Mileham, a solicitor, in 1911. They had two daughters, born in 1913 and 1918. She was widowed when Mileham died in 1958. Hart-Dyke died in 1976, at the age of 94.[1]
