"ENGLAND'S FINEST ACTRESS"—These were the words "The Observer" (London) used the other day to describe Marie Ney, the famous actress who spent her girlhood in Wellington. It is rather amusing now to look back on a newspaper's criticism of Miss Ney performance in an amateur musical comedy in Wellington many years ago: "Miss Ney played her part tolerably well. With. constant practice she may one day aspire to small parts in comedy." The above portrait was sent out from London recently and is inscribed: "To the Wellington Repertory Players With my best wishes and greetings. Marie Ney."
