Famous Beauty Returning to Stage After Unhappy
 Married Life
WALKER WHITESIDE
 IS LONDON FAVORITE
Want to See Him in Something Else Beside "The Melting Pot"-Gross- with to Write Another Revue.
 knOblauch's Latest
By JOHN AVA CARPENTER


 London. April 11.-(Special. )-One of the most interesting rumors heard in this city for sometime concerns Mabel Russell, now playing in within the Law at the Haymarket and George M. Conan. It is said on good authority that Miss Russell will soon take a theatre of her own and star in one of Cohan's American suc- cesses.
 Mabel Russell was first heard of fin the theatrical world of London when she ap- peared. some five or six years ago. in a small part in The Orchid' at the Gaiety. She made a pretty little figure and soon became a favorite with the Gaiety nuts who gather every evening in the stalls and boxes of the famous theatre. Event. ually she became engaged to and ultimate ly married che of them and temporarily retired from the stage. A little later her husband was killed in a. motor accident and after a short time Miss Russell re- turned to the stage, taking up a small part at Dalys. When Within the Law was put on she was cast for one of the leading roles and immediately made good
 Of course, if Miss Russell does take d theatre everyone will be anxious to know who is backing her. She was left q good slice of money by her husband, but the amount was not large enough to warrant her taking any chances with it. Furthermore. she is a level-headed little woman and would be the last person in the world to risk her all. In some quar- 1ers it is said that Cohan himself has offered the necessary financial backing. However that may be, when the Amer jean comedian SAW her in Within the Law a few nights back he was enthu- siastic about her acting.

Whiteside Doinu Well

Israel Zangwill is intensely pleased by the London success of his play, "The Melting Pot" for more reasons than one As a matter of fact, the financial aspect appeals least to him. You will remember that he tried time and time again to get a regular London manager to put on his play of Jewish life in America, but in vain. Finally, with Walker Whiteside on this side, he did induce Gaston Meyer who dabbles a little in the theatrical market here. to take a chance on a mat inee and out of the success of that per- formance grew the present season. It is long time since an American actor has made such an artistic success in London as has Whiteside and already there arc demands that he arrange to prolong his stay on this side and appear in other Hples

New Revue for Alha mhra

Keep Smiling" the revue of the AL hambra, is soon to be withdrawn and preparations are now being made for a new entertainment of the same kind by George Grossmith, just back from the United States. Which goes to prove my assertion of few weeks back that the best globe trotters make the best revue authors. Tn fact, every time Grossmith returns from the United States he writes a revue. But having said that 1t is only fair to add tbat he undoubtedly turns out the best revues on this side of the water In fact, he is the only author here who makes any pretense of shaping his show in accordance with accepted ideas of what a revue should be. Furthermore. he has witty dramatic style that makes his shows always enjoyable. "Every- body's Doing It. which ne wrote for the Empire, ran for some IA months, and ''Eightpence a Mile" with which he fol- lowed it at the Alhambra, laid the foun- dations of the present-day prosperity of that house.

KnObIauch's New Play

My Lady's Dress" has been selected by Edward Knoblauch as the title for his new play to be produced at the Royalty on April 21 It was at the Royalty, of couse, that "Milestones," the big success that Knoblauch wrote in collaboration with Arnold Sennett, was produced and it is hoped that he will again bring pros- perity to the house. which has been hay ing the best of luck lately. As in Mile stones" the leading characters will ap- pear in several different parts. but more intimate details of the piece are being withheld until the opening performance.

Gabrielle Ray Coming Back

Gabrielle Ray is coming back 10 the stage. Leastwise I am told so in the most emphatic manner by the press agent of one of the leading theatrical managers in London. Miss Ray was, of course, one of the most popular of Daly's theatre stars and at one time enjoyed the dis tinction of being the most photographed beauty in stageland. Her picture post cards sold in hundreds of thousands and no one was surprised when she captured q scion of the Loder family, famous in sporting circles and on terms Of inti- snacy with royalty. Unfortunately the union was not a happy one and it was not long before it was q case of "as you were" by permission of the courts. Late ly Miss Ray. who. after her marriage was seen very little by her former com panions in the theatrical profession, has been returning to her old haunts and has been regular attendant at all the cos lume balls so much frequented by the more swagger actresses.
 Gabrielle Ray was never a great actress and never had any voice, but she had a dainty beauty and charm that was more valuable to her than either voice or tal- ent would have been. Her biggest suc- cesses were made in unambitious dances that called for little more than grace and the ability to pose. l am told that in her new engagement, which will be announced shortly, she will continue in the line of her old successes.
 Butt Gets Empire Theatre
 Well. Shirley Kelloggs husband. AL bert de Courville, didn't get the Empire after all. At the last moment Alfred Butt of the Palace came on the scene and the directors of the Empire decided to try their luck with his more expe- rienced management. Butt figures that the Empire and the Palace will not com pete and that a working agreement foI' an exchange of artists can very easily be arranged. There is no denying that Butt has made a big success of the Palace, all though his latest effort. the engagement of Nijinsky which lasted less than two weeks, has proved one of the biggest failures in the history of London music halls. Whether not he will be able .o repeat his success at the Empire, with it's different clientele remains to be seen but his first move, the re-engagement Of Fred Farren and Ida Crispi, who were dropped, sometime ago. by the outgoing regime, is an excellent step.
