... that in 1940, Australian theatre director and former chemistry demonstrator May Hollinworth was described as "a wizard with lighting effects"? Source: Quinn, Marjorie (2 May 1940). "Women Who Will Play a Part In Australian Drama Month". The Sun (9462). New South Wales, Australia. p. 29: "May Hollinworth is a wizard with lighting effects. She rubs her magic lamp, and lo! miracles occur." [1]
ALT1:... that May Hollinworth was a demonstrator in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney before becoming a theatre director? Source: E. C. (11 June 1938). "Music & Drama". The Telegraph. Queensland, Australia. p. 24: "There was a lull in Miss Hollinworth's stage career for some years as she took up chemistry at the Sydney University, becoming for a lengthy period a demonstrator at the Chemistry School. So she has two professions at her finger-tips." [2]
Overall: Both hooks are good, although I would drop "in 1940" from ALT0. Picture in article if needed but I didn't add it because it's hard to see at 100px imho. Great job otherwise, should definitely be nominated for WP:GA as well. Regards SoWhy18:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
