“She has never been athletic in any way – never rode a horse, punched a bag or played tennis; she can’t swim, and never tried to learn. Never golfed and never rowed a boat. In fact the only real active exercise she has ever taken is dancing, and she has had that continuously since a little child. Dancing and singing — these are the two arts which have been her delight.” — Los Angeles Times in 1907
