A noted novelist and a brilliant Artist have cach dona rauch to make that lovable ney character, "Mra. 'Arris," "I was suffering terribly, with known wherever the British neuralgia at the time," she says, language is spoken and read, with the consequence that I used but it was Maisle Gay who put the woman's only weapon and burst into old lady "over the footlights,"

In her "Laughing Through Life," published by Hurst and Binckelt at 12s. 6d., the reader is introduced to "Mrs. 'Arris" in real life.
She was Mnisio's charwoman, Mrs. Beckett, when she lived in a tiny top flat in Great Queen Street, next door to the Kingsway Theatre. Everything about that flat was on the slant, the staircase was at a funny angle, and on the tandings you might have been on board ship with a list to port of twenty degrees,

Mrs. Beckett was the widow of a soldier who had served in India, and she had a friend who lived opposite in the same block of buildings, call- ed
Mira. Hennessy, pronounced "Ennessy" without the aspirate.
Mrs. Beckett had some. wonder fully quaint sayings, unconsciously humorous, and if she could possibly get a thing twisted, she would do so. "Laughing Through Life" teems with reminiscences of theatrical celebrities past and present. There are stories of the old Gaiety days, and a good one la related of the late Mr. George Edwardes,
"Anyway, when we both got our second. wind, I told him my sad atory. He advised: 'Never mind. dear. Play the part at rehersala the way they tell you, but on the first night, play it the way you feel it.' And I did."
