Talk:Gertrude Vanderbilt (actress)

Another Gertrude Vanderbilt?
Note: adding to confusion, there is another Gertrude Vanderbilt, aka Gertrude Langtry, who may have also acted or danced in the same time period, and who newspapers initially claimed was an adopted daughter of Frederick W. Vanderbilt:


 * August 27, 1917, from a cable reproduced in many newspapers (e.g., ): "The marriage of Gertrude Langtry, adopted daughter of Frederick W. Vanderbilt of New York, and Lance Corporal Locquell of the Canadian army, son of a professor in Oporto University, is announced in the Daily Mirror."
 * The next day, the Associated Press reported Frederick Vanderbilt "said he had no adopted daughter and had never heard of Miss Langtry."
 * Variety (August 1917): "Gertrude Langtry, the American actress known as Gertrude Vanderbilt, (not the same Gertrude Vanderbilt now in "Maytime" at the Shubert, New York), was married in England, at Seaford, Sussex, to Lance Corpl. Locquell of the Canadian army"
 * New York Clipper (September 1917): "Gertrude Vanderbilt, the dancer, wishes it known that she is not the Miss Vanderbilt who was recently married in England to Lance Corporal Locquell, of the Canadian army."

I leave this note to prevent future confusion. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:21, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
