Salisbury, January 2 (AP)—Grace Matthews, 24-year-old member of a vaudeville troupe playing at a local theatre this week, committed suicide about 1 o’clock this morning by taking poison in her room, death resulting an hour later. No direct cause was attributed by members of the company for her act.
Traveling with the company are her father, brother, sister, brother-in-law and sister-in-law. The family home is at Syracuse, Ohio. The young woman went through her routine in the chorus and musical and acrobatic acts last night and displayed a cheerful spirit in her work. The funeral and burial will take place here Sunday afternoon.
