Miss Russell was married four times.
Her first husband was Harry Rraham,
a musical director. They were married
in 1880. while she was still in the chorus
at Pastors. 1t was not successful
union. and they did not live long to-
gether. In 1884 along came Edward
Soloman. composer of "Billee Taylor
and other popular musical pieces. and
Miss Russell eloped to London with
him. She divorced Braham and later
found that Soloman had wife living
in London. and he. too. was divorced.
Subsequently she was married in 1894 to

In Hoboken--was fostered by astute
press agents. At any rate. they lived
together only a short time. and in June.
1892, Miss Russell permitted Perugini
to sue for divorece on the ground of
permanent abandonment"
On June IL, 1912. Miss Russell was
married in Pittsburgh to Alexander p.
Moore. owner and publisher of the
Pittsburgh Leader after a romance OF
several years duration. At that time
she was on tour with Weber & Fields In
a revival extravaganza, and when the
tour reached its end a few weeks later
the prima donna's long stage career,
save for a few vaudeville engagements
was at an end.
Active for Theodore Roosevelt.
But throughout the Progressive Partys
campaign she was active on the stump
for Theodore Roosevelt, and when the
war came she made many public appear
ances on behalf of recruiting and lib.
erty loan campaigns.
Within the last few years Mrs. Moore
had engaged in social welfare work
among laborers' families in Pittsburgh.
and her lively interest IN the subject led
President Harding to appoint her as a
special investigator to study emigration

rope in January of this year and
toured Germany. France and Italy, re-
turning in March after two months OF
research. and study
Her report to Secretary Davis sug-
gested that American consuls abroad

Europe to reach the shores of the

United States to recover Its postwar
balance and thoroughly absorb the
foreign element already within our
gates
Since returning from her trip. Mrs
Moore had made number OF addresses
before Chambers of Commerce. Women S
Clubs and various civic bodies on the
subject of immigration.
The secret of Lillian Russell's peren-

stage career was source OF continual
