SPEAKER_03: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Womanica. June is Pride Month, and to celebrate, we're highlighting queer stars of the stage and screen. Today's star was America's most popular and highest paid actress of her day, and her skills extended offstage. She helped invent technology that would help her to be a better actress. She was a very talented actress, and she was a very talented actress. She helped invent technology to improve stage lighting and develop color film photography. Please welcome Maude Adams. Maude Ewing Adams Kiscadden was born in 1872 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father was a banker, and her mother was a famous actress known as Annie Adams. Maude accompanied her mother on tours and started her own acting career at a young age. She made her onstage debut in The Lost Baby when she was just two months old. Maude's family then moved to San Francisco, and she spent her childhood traveling with a theater troupe. After a brief stint at Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, Maude continued performing and took on bigger roles. At the age of 16, she moved to New York City and made her Broadway debut. Audiences loved Maude. During the opening of The Masked Ball in 1892, the crowd applauded with a standing ovation for a full two minutes. She took 12 curtain calls at that performance. Maude acted in several of J.M. Barrie's plays. Most notably, in 1905, Maude was the first person to ever perform as Peter Pan on Broadway. In that play alone, she started more than 1,500 shows, earning $20,000 a month, a nearly unheard-of salary at the time. Children and adults alike were captivated by Maude's energetic portrayal. She also had a hand in making her costume, creating the now-famous Peter Pan collar. Maude's favorite role of her career came in 1910, when she played the title character in the French play Chanticleer. The character, a barnyard rooster, was prideful and aggressive, and traditionally performed by men. That didn't stop Maude. The show was a financial success, and Maude performed the leading role 320 times in 89 cities. But reviewers criticized Maude's performance, claiming she was too feminine to pull off the character. Maude performed her last Broadway play in 1916 in the show A Kiss for Cinderella. In 1918, following a severe case of influenza, she retired from acting and turned her focus to stage production. Throughout the 1920s, Maude worked with technicians and engineers to improve stage lighting, making it smaller, stronger, and more mobile. She went on to partner with General Electric and Eastman Kodak Company. She helped create an even stronger incandescent light bulb that made color movies possible. Maude was never given credit for these inventions. Her lawyer advised her to sue, but she never did. Her lights revolutionized stage production and became industry standard in Hollywood. Her collaborator, Bassett Jones, once referred to her as the greatest production artist this country ever saw. Despite her technological innovations in film photography, Maude still preferred the stage. She never transitioned to acting and motion pictures. In fact, she only appeared on film once in her life in a 1938 screen test for the movie The Young and Heart. Maude came out of retirement in 1931. For the next three years, she acted in stage productions, earning up to a million dollars annually. Afterwards, she became the head of the drama department at Stevens College in Missouri. Maude never married, nor did she have any public relationships with men. Her producer, Charles Frohman, used these facts to build up a reputation for Maude, that she was innocent and virtuous. But historians have since concluded that Maude did have several romantic relationships throughout her life with women, which she kept private. She was with her first long-term partner, Lily Florence, from the early 1890s until Lily's death in 1901. She then met Louise Boynton in 1905, and the two were partnered until Louise's death in 1951. Maude died of a heart attack just two years later. She and Louise are buried together at Maude's Long Island estate. All month, we're highlighting queer stars of the stage and screen.
