... that child actress and singer Sylvia Froos was noted for her ability to mimic the vocal styles of famous celebrity performers? Source: "Her mimicry of celebrated stars is irresistible and her personality is such as to win the most confirmed "grouch"...When a mere child, Baby Sylvia was forever impersonating characters she saw in the movies and on the vaudeville stage." - (Just a Little Girl But a Big Attraction, The Ottawa Citizen)
ALT1: ... that child actress Sylvia Froos claimed to have the record for number of arrests due to violating child labor laws in the 1920's? Source: "Sylvia claims some kind of a record for number of arrests because she started her stage career when she was seven years old and advocates of child labor laws pursued her." - (Week-End Fare Brings Symphonies, Vocalists, The Akron Beacon Journal)
I like Alt2 as a hook better. Good article, but newspapers.com references. Not much you can do about it, seeing how its from a time long ago. Ready for DYK regardless of which hook you go with. Rlink2 (talk) 18:10, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
