ELLA HAS SUBLIME GALL
Actress Calhoun and the Fairy Tales
She Tells.
SHE GETS "LUNNON" WILD
The Reigning Queen of a Race OF
orators, Princes and Even ne
norters low at Her Lovely
race and Feet.

BITE. Jan 27.-Eleanor Calhoun, tho
young actress who claims to DO grand
daughter OF Judge A. j. Davis, and one of
the heirs to the millions which he was un-
nble to tako with hun into the other
world. is cutting a very wide swath in
England. Miss Calhoun Is also repeating
her claim-ior advertising purposes ex-
clusiyely-that she is "a niece OF the great
John &. Calhoun, but this is as preposter-
ous ms her STA ement that she Is one 81 the
DAVIS heirs. For some reason the young
lady has not sprung th.s latter story on
the credulous BrItlshcrs as yet-shc Is
probably saving IT for n master stroke
later ON. After her visit TO San Francisco
IN December, when she cut her claims 10
a portion of the Davis estate loose, Miss
Cahoun-like a few other med OGRE Amer
lean actresses VINO nave not sunlcent
ability TO attain any distinction IN thelr
own country-returned TO London, where
she has been engaged as leading lady at
the GarrIck thcater. aud The Sketch,
London theatrical magazine, in lts issuo
of Jan. Q, has several cuts of the rather
good looking young woman, together with
a long interview with her, from which tho
following excerpts are taken;

There are tWD or three people IN Butt
