Biography

Edith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Kingdon, formerly of Toronto, was born and educated in England. Adopting the stage as a profession, her beauty and talent won instant recognition, but her career as an actress, which promised to be a most distinguished one, was abruptly cut short by her marriage, in the eighties, to George J. Gould, Esquire, of New York, son of the great American capitalist, Jay Gould.^[1]
