Maude Radford Warren: Born : 1875: Died : 1934
Excerpt
IN after days big John Callahan liked to say that the famous Hugh MacDermott owed to him his real start in life. Callahan was walking along dirty Ewing Street, smiling with the mechanical amiability generic toward bosses, when the door of a squalid cottage opposite him was thrown open, and a stout, flaming Irishwoman hurtled forward, holding a little boy by the neck exactly as if he had been a vicious puppy. With hysterical scolding she threw him into the street, and retreated, slamming the door.
