Ask the members of the Suffolk
regiment, fighting Somewhere in
France" who is the greatest actress
the world has ever seen and they will
answer with almost one voice, Mrs.
Lily Langtry. And there is a reason
for this great unanimity. The boys
in the trenches and more especially
those who are with the Suffolk regi-
ment for that portion of the great
English expeditionary army was re-
cruited in Suffolk county, where Lady
de Bathe's country home is located,
are extremely fond of her. Liberal
quantities of scarfs, socks, mittens,
tobacco, pipes, cigarets and similar
gifts so welcome to the fighting Tom
mics have endeared her to them.
Although now in this country for a
tour of the Orpheum circuit, Mrs.
Langtry continues to interest herself
in the comforts of the men who have
responded to their country's call to
arms. Tangible evidence of this is
provided by the immense quantity
of postcards which reach her almost
daily from the battlefields of war
torn France. An expert with the
knitting needles, in common with
most English women at present,
Lady de Battle fills in nearly all her
spare moments making warm clothing
for her soldier friends at the front
At the present time movement
which is receiving Mrs. Langtrys
closest attention is the "tuckerbox
fund" started by London newspaper
to send out little delicacies, such as
Jam, potted meats, sardines, pepper
mints, etc, to the men in the trenches.
81 get lots of nice cards from the
Tommies at the 'front.'" said Mrs,
Langtry the other day. A glance at
the cards quickly showed why Mrs.
Langtry has so many friends among
the soldiers, for each missive was an
acknowledgement of gift sent out
by her to the firing line.
