the Playhouse, like many other play

there, Mrs. Whytal starred with her
husband for three years in q variety
of plays, and then went to England.

English stage.
In London Mrs. Whytal was accord

to succeed Ellen Terry at His Majesty's
Theatre, and there played virtually all
the Shakespearian heroines opposite
Sir Herbert Tree.

Fire playing in the Duke of York's
Theatre in London, and later went on

1t is not denied, not even by the
lady herself, that Peggy ONeil, lead

might be stated that Miss ONeil Is
rather proud of it.
Were proof needed, however, a lit
tie note she wrote Miss Margaret
Lawrence, of the "Tea for Three" com
pany, in acknowledgment Of Miss
Lawrence's flowers sent the night
