Charlotte Parry(1873-1959)

Explaining why she believed all young women should receive dramatic training in public schools: The average wife wearies her husband by her eternal sameness. If she had received a little dramatic training in her girlhood days, she would be able to hide her emotions and also be more entertaining. Another good result from this training would be to keep many incapable girls from going on the stage. Many a girl in this way would find out that she is not intended for professional stage life, who, as conditions now stand, only finds it out after years of bitter experience.
