John Drew Jr. (November 13, 1853 – July 9, 1927), commonly known as John Drew during his life, was an American stage actor noted for his roles in Shakespearean comedy, society drama, and light comedies. He was considered to be the leading matinee idol of his day, but unlike most matinee idols Drew\'s acting ability was largely undisputed. He was a part of the prominent Drew acting family that continues today. The appellation \"Jr.\", distinguishing him from his long-deceased actor father, is usually dropped.
Elsie de Wolfe, Lady Mendl (born Ella Anderson de Wolfe; December 20, c. 1859– July 12, 1950) was an American actress who became a prominent interior designer and author. Born in New York City, de Wolfe was acutely sensitive to her surroundings from her earliest years and became one of the first female interior decorators, replacing dark and ornate Victorian decor with lighter, simpler styles and uncluttered room layouts.

Since 1892, de Wolfe had been living openly in a lesbian relationship with Elisabeth Marbury, with whom she lived in New York and Paris.Lady Mendl was a prominent social figure, and she entertained in the most distinguished circles.
