     Florence Saunders, Shakespearean actress, died here today. She was   
   born at Valparaiso, Chile and made a name as a leading member of the   
   "Old Vic" Shakespearean Company.   
      
   Miss Saunders, who was a teacher and then a stenographer, made her first   
   appearance on the stage at Olympia at Christmas 1911. Besides appearing   
   in Shakespeare's plays she took roles in various other dramas.   
      
     Miss Saunders played Lucrezia Violante in support of Mrs. Patrick   
   Campbell in "Madame Sand" at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, in 1920.
