Miss Frances Williams, formerly of Roxboro, has received a diploma from the School of Dramatic Arts, Ithaca, N.Y. The item below is copied from the Ithaca Journal-News:
The characterization of Little Lord Fauntleroy, youthful hero of Frances Hodgson Bernette’s famous story, in monologue arrangement as given by Miss Frances Williams, senior pupil of Dr. Edward Amherst Ott, was a most excellent piece of work.
This monologue presented many difficulties in its 10 characters but Miss Williams was equal to the task she made each character distinct and individual, changing from one to the other with quickness and ease, poise and grace. Miss Williams possesses a charming stage presence, a good voice and is unusually well poised.
She has made a number of creditable appearances in Ithaca since coming here from the south two years ago and we bespeak for her a brilliant career in her chosen profession, Chautauqua and Lyceum art.
Miss Williams is remembered here as the daughter of Mrs. Ethel Jones Williams and granddaughter of Rev. and Mrs. F.H. Jones. After having studied at Oxford College she won thee scholarships at the School of Dramatic Art in Ithaca from which she is graduating with honor and distinction, and has already been offered a position on the Chautauqua platform.
