| "For months Miss Storey has been driving a war ambulance in the streets of New York--a work no less valuable than handling one behind the Flanders lines. And when the influenza epidemic hit the metropolis, she deserted the steering-wheel with scores of other drivers to take the 'night nurse shift' in the crowded New York hospitals. . . . Miss Storey has been steadily driving an ambulance for the National League for Women's Service. This doesn't mean chauffeuring a motor-car thru the metropolitan streets in a natty uniform. Far from it. Miss Storey, like the others, reports at nine o'clock in the morning and devotes the day to meeting incoming transports and liners at the docks and transporting the sick and wounded to hospitals thru the maddening congestion of Manhattan street traffic, to transporting men from place to place and to special emergency work." Harrison Haskins, "A Star Who Really Did Her Bit" in June 1919 "Motion Picture Classic." |
