Talk:Grace George

Untitled
I think a sentence ought be deleted from the Grace George page: "She [Grace George] starred as Esther in the hugely successful 1899 Broadway adaptation Ben Hur from Lew Wallace's novel.[3]" The referred source page does indeed state that Grace George played Esther, however I think the source may be mistaken. See: Grace George Withdraws from Cast of Ben Hur (NY Times) Also: Grace George recently resigned from the cast of Ben Hur as Esther (NY Times)

Ben Hur opened on Broadway on November 29, 1899, and her resignation on November 25, 1899 preceded the opening. There are several references to the actresses who replaced Grace George in the role of Esther.

Interestingly, the original source "Plays of the Present"", does mention on page 39 that Grace George was replaced first by Nellie Thorne and then by Ellen Mortimer, in the role of Esther -- albeit it seems (to me) to imply that Grace George did perform the role before being resigning.

This is my first suggestion to Wikipedia, and, as a newbie, I am NOT making the deletion myself, rather I would ask for an experienced editor to see if this suggestion has merit, and delete (or not) accordingly.
