MISS WINIFRED EMERY.
SABEL WINIFRED MAUD EMERY, now Mrs. Cyril Maude, was born at Manchester, her father being Mr. Samuel Emery, the well-known comedian. Miss Emery appeared in public at the age of eight, as The Child, in "Green Bushes," at the Alexandra Theatre, Liverpool. Some time after this she was sent to school for several years, and did not return to the stage until she was sixteen, when she began at once to take her place as an actress of the greatest charm and promise. Her impersonation of Marguerite and Olivia at the Lyceum during Ellen Terry's indisposition received the warmest praise. Her latest success has been in the part of Lady Windermere.
