Vokes

ROSINA, an English actress; born in London in 1858. Her first appearance was in pantomime, when a mere child, with her brother FREDERICK and her sisters VICTORIA and JESSIE.

They made an instant success in London as "the Vokes family." They afterward came to the United States, where they became great favorites with the public.

Rosina for a time refrained from the stage. In 1886 she organized a company for farces and comedies which annually toured in England and the United States till her death in 1914.
