ACTRESS PUZZLED
Alleged Fiance
Messages of congratulation reached the London actress, Miss Frances Day, last month, following a report that she
was engaged to marry Mr James McElveen, a 29-year-old Irish American. “Marry whom?” she said. “I have never heard of him.”
Mr McElveen had already given notice of the marriage at the Caxton Hall register office, he said. Told of her reply and her astonishment, he remarked: “Oh! Probably she does not want it to get known. We were trying to J:eep our marriage secret, but it must have leaked out through someone somehow.” But Miss Day maintained that she had never met a Mr McElveen and had never heard the name before. Mr McElveen is a friend of Jack Doyle. He has been described at Charlie Chaplin’s screen double.
