STAGE AND NAVY ROMANCE
Engagement Of Lieut.. Townsand and
Miss Claire Interests Society.

Washington society Is much inter-
ested in the announcement today OF
the engagement of Miss Ina Claire,
one OF the best known musical COM
edy stars, who was recently seen in
ZiegfeId's "Follies," to Lieut.. Law
renee Townsend, jr., u. s. N.
Both are well known In Washing
ton. Miss Claire was born and reared
here and was educated in the public
schools. Lieutenant Townsend, whose
father, Laurence Townsend, was for
mSrIy minister to Belgium and Portu-
gal. also is a resiednt OF this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend live at 1416
Twentieth street northwest
The romance began In Philadelphta
last fall, when Lieutenant Townsend
saw Miss Claire on the stage. The
courtship began almost Immediately.
Miss Claire will not be a war bride,
II is stated. The wedding will not
take place for some time. probably un-
til after the war with Germany.
The Townsend family Is one of the
most prominent in Washington so
ciety. Miss Claire, through her long
residence here. also is well known
aside from her stage career.
Lieutenant Townsend was appoint
ed to the Naval Academy from Penn
syIvania in 1905, and now holds a
junior rank grade. His father was
first secretary of the Vienna lega-
tion from 1893 to 1897. and then was
appointed to be minister to Portugal,
later being sent to Belgium. His dip
Iomatic service ended In 1905.
Even in her school days, Miss Claire
achieved considerable fame. Her gifts
for mimicry were noticeable. When
George Edwardes came to this coun-
try to find a star for an English mu-
sicaI comedy production, he imme-
diately sought Miss Claire. Her sue
cess since then has been phenomenal.
Under Belasco's management, she will
be called upon to create important
roles, as she has decided not to give
I'D her stage career.
