Why is this person notable? Was she much more than a chorus girl? -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:30, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree she's not Marie Curie, but my impression from the sources was that she was notable enough. I will see what I can do to make the article better reflect this. Penny Richards (talk) 16:56, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:ENT. In my opinion, it would be better for you to expand the articles of important performers, rather than add obscure performers who had no special impact on the theatre of their day. This website contains the names of lots of famous actresses, if you do want to add new articles on actresses. But you will learn more about contributing helpfully to this encyclopedia by expanding existing articles with additional research and collaborating with experienced editors. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Roles

[edit]

User:Penny Richards and User:Tim riley, thank you both for the various improvements in the article. I take it from Tim's edit that Stuart's variety work should be termed "music hall" rather than "vaudeville", and so I have made conforming changes. Penny Richards, can you add the names of the roles she played in the works mentioned? The only ones we name are Delhi and Lady Camber. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added a few. The J. P. Wearing book that was so useful for such things seems to have gone into snippet view in the years since I used it for this article.Penny Richards (talk) 14:55, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
