Hélène Vaubré

(b. **/**/**** - d. **/**/****). Actress. Hélène Vaubré played Mabel May's aunt, Lady Cantourne, in Joseph Albrecht's film version of With Edged Tools (1919), based on the popular novel by H. Seton Merriman. She replaced Annie Leaf, who was first announced for the role. Little else is known about her, though in November 1884 the British newspaper The Era, which focused on theatrical happenings, contained an advert in which Vaubré sought a permanent London engagement. At the time she apparently was appearing as Nelly Armroyd in Lost in London by Watts Phillips, staged at the Theatre Royal in Leicester. (FO)
