Ivy Duke (1896-1937) was a British actress. In the late 1910s, she appeared in several silent films with Guy Newall. During the 1920s, he also became her director and husband.
Ivy Elsie Duke was born in Kensington, London, in 1896. She was already an established stage actress, appearing regularly in the light musical confections associated with George Edwardes’ Gaiety Theatre, when she began her film career in 1919. She appeared in the films The March Hare (Frank Miller, 1919) and The Double Life of Mr Alfred Burton (Arthur Rooke, 1919), produced by George Clark for Lucky Cat Productions and distributed by Ideal Films. Already in her third film, I Will (Kenelm Foss, 1919), she was paired with Guy Newall, who earlier on had co-written her first film, The March Hare. In late 1919, Lucky Cat Productions became George Clark Productions, and Stoll Pictures - the biggest renter in the 1920s - became the distributor. The company founded its own studio complex at Beaconsfield. After a period of being the star couple directed by others, Guy Newall also became Ivy Duke's director.
In the 1920s, Ivy Duke reached the apex of her film career, taking part in productions like Testimony (Newall, 1920), The Bigamist (Newall, 1921), Beauty and the Beast (Newall, 1922) and Fox Farm (Newall, 1922). In 1922, Duke married Newall, but seven years after the marriage ended in divorce. Their last film together was The Starlit Garden (Newall, 1923). In her last films, Duke worked with other directors and male leads: The Great Prince Shan (A.E. Coleby, 1924) with Sessue Hayakawa, Decameron Nights (Herbert Wilcox, 1924) with an international cast including Lionel Barrymore and Werner Krauss, and, with an interval of several years, her last film: the Anglo-German co-production A Knight in London (Lupu Pick, 1928) with Lilian Harvey, cinematography by Karl Freund, and edited by Michael Powell. The female lead was for Harvey, and Duke played her mother. It's all about a woman who accidentally awakens in a man's hotel bed. With the rise of the sound film, Ivy Duke retired from the film business. A few years later, she died at the age of only 41.
As the site At the Pictures writes: "A reasonable number of their films survive in the BFI National Archive, and several have been screened at the British Silent Film Festival over the years, including Fox Farm from the novel by Warwick Deeping about the romance between a gypsy girl and a blinded farmer, Boy Woodburn from the novel by Alfred Oliphant about a lady horse trainer and her romance with a penniless banker, and Maid of the Silver Sea from the novel by John Oxenham about romance and murder in a Breton fishing community (actually filmed on Sark). Perhaps the most widely seen is The Lure of Crooning Water {...]. In the Lure of Crooning Water, Ivy Duke plays a London stage actress who, suffering from nervous collapse, goes into the countryside for a ‘rest cure’ and amuses herself while there by seducing the married farmer (played by Newall) who has been acting as her host. (This reminds a bit of Murnau's Sunrise). The Garden of Resurrection, from the novel by E. Temple Thurston, reverses this pattern – this time it is Newall who is suffering from extreme depression brought on by his sense of his own ugliness. He goes for a ‘rest cure’, visiting some friends who live surrounded idyllic garden in rural Ireland (although the film was shot in Cornwall). There he meets Ivy Duke….

I went nose to nose with the Duke and got this shot.
They appear to have a different shape head to other butterflies I have photographed.

The Duke of Burgundy is the sole representative of a subfamily known as the "metalmarks", since some of its cousins, particularly those found in south America, have a metallic appearance. A curious characteristic of this subfamily is that the female has 6 fully-functional legs, whereas the male has only 4 - the forelegs being greatly reduced. The Duke of Burgundy was once classified as a fritillary, given the similarity with those fritillary species found in the British Isles. This butterfly is found mainly in central southern England, although scattered colonies are found elsewhere such as in the north of England in Cumbria and Yorkshire. This species is not found in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. Although relatively-large colonies exist, most colonies only contain around a dozen individuals at the peak of the flight season.
There is one brood each year, with the adults emerging at the end of April in southern sites, peaking in the middle of May. A partial second brood may appear in some years, but this is the exception, rather than the rule, and only occurs in certain sites in the south of England.
This butterfly was, in the past, primarily known as a woodland butterfly, where it fed on Primroses growing in dappled sunlight, with a number of colonies in chalk and limestone grassland. However, the cessation of coppicing in woodlands has had a marked effect on this species, with many woodland colonies dying out as a result. Primrose is used as the larval foodplant in woodland, whereas Cowslip is used on grassland.
The sexes are similar in appearance, although the female tends to have more orange on the wings and rounder tips to the forewings. The male and female can also be distinguished by behaviour. The fast-flying males are extremely territorial and will sit on a favourite perch, darting out to inspect anything that might be a passing female. Once a virgin female is encountered, the two mate without any discernable courtship. This is usually in mid-morning just after the females have emerged. The flight of the female is not as rapid as the male and they are often seen when egg-laying as they move from plant to plant, landing on the edge of a leaf before curling their abdomen to lay on the underside of the leaf.
Adults only occasionally nectar, usually in warmer weather, with Wood Spurge, Buttercup, Hawthorn and Bugle being favourites. Both sexes roost in tall scrub or trees.

Duke was one of my dad's favorite players when he was growing up in the 40's. Duke is 82 now, but despite being a bit physically slow, looked like he was in great shape for a guy his age.

Duke Paoa Kahanamoku (1890-1968)
Located above the surf and rock pool at Freshwater Beach, seemingly wedged into a rock that looks like a huge breaker, is a great statue of the ‘father of modern surfing’. In the early 1900s, he perfected manoeuvres, such as riding backward, performing headstands and surfing at an angle to slide left or right along the face of a wave. The statue commemorates his visit to Australia in 1915, when he introduced true board surfing to Australia.

No. 21 Hanover Square, formerly known as Downshire House, was the residence of Prince Talleyrand, the French statesman and diplomatist, from 28 October 1830 until 19 August 1834.
He was instrumental in organising the coup d'etat by which Napoleon came to power, and is perhaps best known as Napoleon's Minister for Foreign Affairs (1799-1807). But he later recommended the restoration of the Bourbons, and became a trusted servant of Louis XVIII and Louis-Philippe. He was the chief French representative at the Congress of Vienna and served as his country's prime Minister in 1815.
When he lived in London, he held many sumptuous receptions at No. 21 Hanover Square, where visitors included the Duke of Wellington. The building, which was built about 1718, was converted into a bank in 1856-57 and its ground floor was refaced in stone in the late 19th century.
This is Stirling Hill's resident pony mascot, Duke. He's a character - and clearly needs his nose wiped. This little muchkin was more than a little restless given that I was clicking away while it was dinner time in the barn. Hehe...pony nose.
