IMPOSSIBLE."

Miss Tallulah Bankhead has announced that her engagement to Count Anthony de Boadari has been roken off by mutual consent..

Miss Bankhead was interviewed by a press representative in her dressing-room at the Empire Theatre. Edinburgh, where she is appearing in "Her Cardboard Lover." She wore her pale blue silk pyjamas of the famous bed-

room scene.

Still Devoted! **Tony and I are still devoted to each other," she declared." He is a perfect darling, and I adore him as I honesty believe he adores me We have had no quarrels.

"We have just agreed that things have became impossible, because, he has his work to do and I have mine, and we have had to be separated so much.
