Show Prompted Miss Ellen Terry. Miss Ellen Terry a few wreeks ago was giving a Shakespearean recitation at an entertainment in aid of a war fund, and a large part of her audience were the girls from a widely known Chelsea school. Knowing every line by heart, they were following the recital with breathless attention. Suddenly Miss Terry faltered and, as often happens hap-pens on the stage, the actress' mind for one moment became a blank. Then, just as the pause threatened to become be-come awkward, the small, ringing voice of a twelve-year-old schoolgirl gave the necessary words. London Mirror. |
