As You Like It: Lily Brayton (1876-1953) as Rosalind.

Seemingly Brayton plays a very self-confident Rosalind for reasons she herself explains:

From: "Oscar Asche And Lily Brayton": "As Alice in 'Henry V.' I made my London debut, my first real taste of success, however, being as Viola in 'Twefth Night.' But I believe, of all the characters I have impersonated , I most enjoy Rosalind as 'As You Like It.' I practically began my stage career in comedy, and much prefer it, for I think emotional parts, such as Clotilde in 'Count Hannibal,' for instance, have a tendency to make me rather depressed." (The Advertiser, Adelaide, Australia – 14/5/1919)
