John Gielgud Archive. Albums of theatre programmes, pictorial cuttings from theatre periodicals, and postcards; 1899–1910. Both albums bear the name of a Hilda L. Milford, but in a very different hand in each case. It is just possible that the albums may have been compiled, or at the least begun, by the 'elderly American lady' referred to by Kate Terry Gielgud in her autobiography (Max Reinhardt, 1953) who went to live with her mother, Kate Terry Lewis, after she was widowed in November 1901, although the preponderance of material relating to the immensely popular and handsome 'matinee idol' Lewis Waller in the earlier album tends to suggest a younger compiler. The annotations in the later of the two albums are themselves not all in the same hand, but most of them are in a hand which resembles that of Kate Terry Gielgud.
