GILBERT See also:KEITH (1874- ) , See also:English journalist and author, who came of a See also:family of See also:estate-agents, was See also:born in See also:London on the 29th of May 1874. He was educated
at St See also:Paul's school, which he See also:left in 1891 with the See also:idea of studying See also:art.
