ELLEN TERRY
WORLD-WIDE GOOD WISHES By Telegraph - Press association Copyright. London, February 28. World-wide birthday congratulations have been received by Miss Ellen Terry, who is 80, including a telegram from Their Majesties. Miss Terry was inundated with letters, sonnets, poems, and telegrams, and the telephone was engaged all day long transmitting. The post bag contained offers of a patent medicine cure for bronchitis, and oldfashioned prescriptions for colds. Great bunches of flowers arrived continuously. A special programme was broadcasted, largely played by the Terry family in the principal successes of her long career. Birthday greetings were spoken, and Miss Terry’s broadcast reply to the greetings said that a tribute to her was a tribute to Shakespeare, and so to England, for “is not he the chief glory of England?”
