When "The Marvellous History of St. Bernard" was transferred to the Kingsway Theatre, London, Margaret Gaskin went with it as a meniber of the cast. Subsequently she joined the Stratford-on-Avon Shakespearean Company under an eighteen month's engagement, including a tour of the United States and Canada. Among others, she scored notable personal hits as Hermia, Anne Page, and as the Queen an the Prince of Wales in "Richard III.". She has also played leading juvenile parts in the English provinces with considerable success and was, as a result, given an opportunity to appear on the talking screen with Ivan Petrovitch. Needless to say, she acquitted herseif creditably and nothing is more likely than that she is going to be a valuable acquisition to the talking screen. Margaret Gaskin begann ihre Bühnenlaufbahn am Birmingham Repertory-Theater, wo sie achtzehn Monate spielte. Als das Stück „The Marvellous History of St. Bernard" an das Kingsway-Theater in London übernommen wurde, ging Margaret Gaskin mit. Später trat sie der Stratford-on-Avon Shakespearean Company für achtzehn Monate bei und wirkte auf einer Tournee in den Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada mit. Glänzende Erfolge errang sie u. a. als Hermia, Anne Page und als Königin und Prince of Wales in „Richard III.". Auch in der englischen Provinz hat sie führende jugendliche Rollen mit beträchtlichem Erfolge gespielt, und man wählte sie infolgedessen in einem Tonfilm als Partnerin von Ivan Petrovich. Es erübrigt sich, festzustellen, daß sie ihre Aufgabe glänzend erfüllt hat, und es ist durchaus wahrscheinlich, daß sie in Zukunft eine wertvolle Akquisition für den Tonfilm bedeuten wird.
