 Gertie
Millar reigned as London's premier musical ingénue in The
Quaker Girl (1910), Gipsy Love (1912), The Dancing
Mistress (1912) and a major revival of The Country Girl
(1913). World War I brought a change in popular tastes, and after
appearing in several quick failures, Millar left the stage at age 29.

comedy The Ritz (1976).
