Ethel Wright, a Canadian, was best known as a stage actress. After about 1910 she toured the United States, Canada, and England in stock productions, including The Sins of the Father (1913). The Toledo Blade, December 17, 1913, reported that following a recent visit to New York “she called in a nerve specialist, who ordered her away from the city.”
