MISS GLADYS COOPER.
HER ANCESTRY. My quotation from the'latest edition of “Who’s Who in the Theatre,” which states that Miss Gladys Cooper is directly descended from William Wordsworth, has brought me several letters (writes a correspondent to the Daily Mail). One of these is from Sir Herbert Russell, who says: "My grandfather, Henry Russell, the musical composer, married Miss Isabella Lloyd, of Ringley Ilall, Birmingham. She had a remote eousinship with Wordsworth, and 1 have heard her recount how she and the Laureate used to play together when she was a child. flhe second daughter of Henry Russell and Isabella Lloyd was my aunt, Fanny, who married" Charles Cooper, whom she divorced for reasons which are immaterial to the fact. “Charles Cooper married again, ancl the talented Miss Gladys Cooper is one of the offspring of this second marriage.' Thus, there is not a molecule of the blood of Isabella Lloyd, the cousin of Wordsworth, in this charming lady's veins.”
