ACTRESS SUES YOUNG LORD.

CONFESSED HIS LOVE. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—CouvngL t LONDON, May 14. ' Angela Wooyce, an actress and the Miss England beauty com petition winner tor 1927, sued Lord Revelstoke for breach ot promise. The jury, including three women, returned a. verdict for defendant. Miss Wooyce, m evidence, stated that they met casually in a cocktail bar in 1931 before Lord Revelstoke succeeded to the title. She was then twenty-four and Lord Revelstoke was nineteen. While.a Cambridge undergraduate he broke the college rules and mother thrice weekly in the evenings. They exchanged ardent letters almost daily. He proposed verbally and subsequently told her that defectives were watching owing to his ■father s objection to his association with an actress, adding that they had better part until he could shake off the detectives. Later, he again proposed when he was over twenty-one and subsequently broke his promise and married the present Lady Revelstoke. The defence claimed that all Lord Revel stoke s lover-letters were written before he was twenty-one. Lord Revelstoke, giving evidence, said he had never proposed. The Justice, in a swift summing up, said: *A man does not promise to marry bv saying: ‘You are the sweetest girl I ever knew/ If it is the modern practice of young strangers to meet in a cocktail bar and thereafter lunch and dine frequently, is that likely to result in perfect domesticity? Boys fall in in love but infatuations cool off. Few men marry the first women to whom they declare their love. 7 ’ Lord Revelstoke left the Court accompanied by his wife, who was present during the trial.
