Mr Justice 3wirt dismissed with j costs the action for breach of promise i brought by Miss Adele Royle, 34- j years-old London actress, mannequin I jand photographer’s model, against j : Viscount Kingsborough, aged 40, heir 1 to the Earl of Kingston, says a Lon- j j don paper. Miss Royle and Viscount Kingsbor j ough were both in court. When the case was called Mr J. P. Valetta, for Miss Royle, said he was i on the record of the case for the first | time only on May 26. and when he j took the matter over he ad- ! I vised Miss Royle not to proceed with j [ her claim.

, publicity by Miss Hoyle. She has put I on record an allegation for which there J never was, and never could have been j the slightest foundation.” , Miss Royle said: "I cannot say what I shall do now. I may go back to mannequin work, or possibly stage Jor film acting. I am hoping I may i be able to start a new career as a j dance band vocalist. Played Small Parts. “My mother decided she did not [ like to see me entering the theatre j world so young—l started at 16—so I i obtained an engagement as a manne- ! quin, blit I gratified my love for tht : stage by later playing small parts i while understudying the leads in mu d i cal comedies.” !
