THB OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. - FORT LAND, SUNDAY -MORNING. JULY 13. 1919. M i s s; Ru s s e 11 Breaks Into "Classified r . ; - Daughter of the Noted Lillian "Disappears," It Seems," Yet Doesn't HERE'S story, or really a story within a story, or possibly just a press agent's story, but at any rat It Is about persons well known and often in the publio prints, and It isn't bad read ,ng. The Telegraph, TJew York's the atrical dally, tells it as follows : ' Acquaintances of Dorothy Russell, daughter of Lillian .Russell, were curi ously stimulated to gossip by an adver tisement that apfcewred in the New York Herald recently, as follows: "Information wanted concerning the - whereabouts of Miss Dorothy Russell, daughter. of Lillian Russell. . M. K." - The Kventnjs'-Telegram. 'whlch is pub lished by the New York Herald Publish ing company, offers the additional in formation that "M. K." Is lawyer, who concedes his ldentjty." This knowl edge , Is, of course, due to the require ment that "personal" advertisers leave 4heir fun name and address in the busi ness office of the newspaper. Inquiry at the Herald office yesterday settled the question of Identities in " clandestine, or modestly secretive adver ' lining. ; " -. y ' '. It ia not only, necessary te leave cor rect name and address In ' possession of the publishers but also the' advertiser's telephone number, if he has rje. , 80 It would - seem the Bvening frele . ram "mystery" concerning Dorothy Russell, daughter of the celebrated prima donna, is largely & mystery of Evening Telegram discretion. ; - i? In other words, a mystery by courtesy. The recital of this most perplexing question' of Miss Dorothy Russell's in- rlinatlon or reticence to step forward in the limelight of theatrical doings and be popular with press agents once more reads as .follows in the Bvening Tele gram's issue of yesterday: "Has Dorothy Russell ran away from her mother? , . - "Lilian Russell, who Is known less widely as Mrs. A. P. Moore, denies that her daughter disappeared, and in the , personal columns of the Herald has' an advertisement which ; maintains that Dorothy is at home with her in Pitts burg and ia employed on her stepfather's paper, the Plttaburs , Leader. - "One of the strange things about the two advertisements is that the one ask ing for information of Dorothy first ap ' peered in this morning's Herald. - while .her mother's advertisement, - denying Dorothy's disappearance, is dated Pitts burg, Pa., Saturday. "It has been understood for some time that Dorothy Russell was living with her mother, but the question why Lillian Russell advertised that fact instead of communicating directly with M. K.' very 'naturally arises, but finds no answer. "Dorothy Russell Is well kndwn in ftew York and has frequently been a principal in the news. - She was in vaude- vllle some years ago, but for some time has made no stage appearances. Many persona in the theatrical district who knew her were Interested by the adver- ' tlsement, but could offer no explanation of it. none of them haying, seen her for . month a" .' ' .
