Ann Swinburne - NY Dramatic Mirror 1913

'Young Anne Swinburne[sic] overwhelms us with her modesty. She is reported to have instituted suit for an injunction and $10,000 damages against the George W. Dillingham Company for selling a novelized version of The Count of Luxembourg with her picture for a frontispiece. If this announcement is more than a press agent's inspiration, Miss Swinburne's representative will probably encounter difficulties hereafter in inducing dramatic editors to accept her pictures for publication. And it will serve her right.'Miss Swinburne is a charming young singer. She is by no means a dominating artist. Much of her popularity is due to her young and the grace which goes with her years. She is one of many nice, charming girls who bob up and down in the whirl of the theatrical millrace. Some have commanded as much attention as she, and then have been forgotten. Not one within the scope of our observation has been averse to seeing her picture published, pretty much regardless of when, where and how. Why an otherwise charming little songbird should suddenly develop symptoms of antipathy to a legitimate form of publicity is one of the things that stagger the editorial mind. Possibly Miss Swinburne has outgrown the need of propaganda.'(The New York Dramatic Mirror, New York, Wednesday, 22 October 1913, p.8a/b)
