From the yearbook of the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston MA, 1909:
ETHELYN HOLLAND Worcester, Mass "Chile."
'I love her for her smile, her look, her way."--
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
This quiet, demure, unassuming "Chile" is really the most particular girl in our class. Rehearsals must be just so and every one must be just on time with "lines" committed, and then if you will allow "Ethel" to run things, which will be entirely to her satisfaction, she will surprise you by her inventive mind. When the scene is produced you will have some startling (!) stage business. She is going to teach next year and will furnish you with limitless information regarding 'agencies,' for she has investigated all of them. ...|PIX: Ethel|
