This Marriage

Director: J. E. Vedrenne

Partial Cast: Cathleen Nesbit, Herbert Marshall, A. Bromley, Auriol Lee, Tom Reynolds

Tallulah's Role: Yvonne Taylor

Tallulah played a seductress trying to steal Herbert Marshall from Cathleen Nesbitt. During the brief run, Tallulah befriended Nesbitt and her baby son and showered both of them with gifts. Nesbitt had been engaged to the poet Rupert Brooke at the time of his death at the age of 27 in 1915 and this fascinated Tallulah, who adored Brooke's writings.

Tallulah's Comments: "Although This Marriage was a failure, I no longer was afraid of becoming a public charge. Now I had a following, its loyalty in nowise abated because I was the victim of two duds. My nonchallance in adversity increased their devotion."
