From Famous Women: An Outline of Feminine Achievement Through the Ages With Life Stories of Five Hundred Noted Women. Written by Joseph Adelman, published 1926 by Ellis M Lonow Company:
Anne Hartley Gilbert (1821-1904), an American actress born in England. She came to Amenca in 1849 and is pleasantly remembered as old “Mrs. Gilbert” who was one of the famous members of Daly’s Company. She became identified with characters of the odd elderly ladies of the stage, such as Mrs. Candour in “The School for Scandal” and Mrs. Hardcastle in “She Stoops to Conquer.” After Mr. Daly’s death she came under Charles Frohmans’ management, and acted on the stage in her eighty-second year, retaining perfectly her vivacity and comedy spirits.
