sion, and when she left for Boston last |
fall at the suggestion of Clayton Gil
bert, it was with an eagerness for the
work and determination really to |
make good. In the one year Miss
Hollingshead has succeeded even be-
the school as well as the professionals
who have witnessed her work, unite IN
prophesyinr a future if not Of bril-
lance, at least Of prominence and re-
noWn.
Miss Hollingshead first went before
the Boston public in a matinee Of Irish
when she assumed the role Of an Irish
mother in Riders Of the Sea- by
Synge, an Irish writer whose works are
gaining prestige. The part of the peas
ant mother, mourning the loss Of her
last child, was we'll suited to Miss Hol-
lingshead and displayed the timbre Of
her beautiful voice remarkably well.
She thrilled her hearers with its sad
city who attended the performance
were Misses Marie Cahill and Viola
Allen. In her note of thanks to Mr..
Gilbert, Miss Allen not only expressed
her pleasure in the whole afternoon,
but spoke particularly of the Mlnne ne,
saying it showed great promise.
A number Of little plays were put
on during the winter, but her greatest
success occurred in April, when pupils
from the school gave four. one-act
French plays and Miss Hollingshead
had the leading part in "Le Pater,
by Francois Coppee. It is an intense
act and full Of emotion, but Miss Hol-
cerely. Many Of the rehearsals Of the
play, were held at the home Of Mrs.
Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, a promi-
| nent woman in Boston g literary cir
cles and herself a writer Of plays. Her
| "Martin Harvey is now being staged
in London and Mrs. Sutherland is
| abroad, experimenting its production.
From her Miss Hollingshead received
Sutherland's interest in the western
| girl that she pesenteq her to many the
atrical people, among them Henry Mil
Ter, a manager of the Shubert forces.
4 After seeing Mr.. Miller in New York,
| Gle Pater' was reproduced in Bos-
ton in May especially for him. Mar
garet Anglin, who is under the Shubert
management, also saw the performance
and she joined Mr.. Miller in words of
praise and encouragement.
But praise has not closed Miss Hol-
lingshead' s eyes to the hard work
which is ahead of her. She is tireless,
humble, reverent of her chosen profess
| sion and the demands of it. Many peO-
/ pie in the twin cities have followed her
! year in Boston and will follow with
even greater interest her professional
career. @.t;s C%'.+ a..-.
