Billie Barlow signed 6x4 inch album page. Anna Maria Barlow made her stage debut at the Opera Comique on 25 May 1878 in the chorus of H.M.S. Pinafore. It is reported W. S. Gilbert suggested she adopt the stage name Billie, which she used for the first time as Isabel in D’Oyly Carte’s December 31, 1879, New York premiere of The Pirates of Penzance. She played the role throughout the American tour and again at the Opera Comique when the Company returned to London in July 1880. For Patience, Miss Barlow was back in the Opera Comique, later Savoy, chorus until returning to New York under D’Oyly Carte auspices in September 1882 where she appeared as Gomez in Bucalossi’s Les Manteaux Noirs and as Tom Tit and the Fourth Lieutenant in Planquette’s Rip Van Winkle. In November, still in New York, she took the part of Fleta in Iolanthe, the production that was launched the same day as, though five hours later than, the Savoy first night.
