Felicity Tree

Felicity, Lady Cory-Wright (née Felicity Constance Tree: 7 December 1894 – 15 September 1978) was an English baronetess and high society figure. A daughter of the actors Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and Helen Maud Holt, she appeared regularly in news of the time starting from infancy.

Born in Chelsea, London, in 1894, Tree was the middle daughter of the actor Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and his wife, the actress Helen Maud Holt. She was the sister of Viola Tree and Iris Tree, and the niece of the author Constance Beerbohm, the caricaturist and parodist Max Beerbohm, and the engineer and explorer Julius Beerbohm. Her grandson is Richard Cory-Wright, 4th Baronet Cory-Wright.

Tree was involved in the theatre and society at an early age. In 1908, she was praised in The Bystander for her leading role in a play by Mrs. Walter Cave, The Three Wishes, opposite the daughter of the British Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith. She was later pictured in The Sketch wearing her costume; the paper reported that the performances benefited the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. At the Shakespeare Ball in London in 1911, The New York Times noted that she appeared with her family and dressed as Juliet from Romeo and Juliet. In 1912, The Evening News reported that Tree sold programmes at the Keats-Shelley Memorial matinees at the Haymarket Theatre.
