Lucille Erskine

Lucille Erskine (born January 6, 1879[1] in St. Louis, Missouri) was an American writer, educator and Hollywood press agent.

Samuel Erskine addressed large audiences at Cooper's Union, New York, on the Irish questions.

He was a son of Stuart Erskine, of Edinburgh, attended Beloit College, Wisconsin, and taught English at night in the German Institute of St. Louis before studying law, and later was called upon for the important work of revising its charter.

Her thesis on Edgar Allan Poe as a critic was published in The St. Louis Mirror, and quoted in Current Literature, New York, on the poet's centenary.

[3] Erskine travelled several successive summers in Europe doing foreign correspondence for St. Louis newspapers and the New York World.

She also contributed to the New York World, The Times, and the Theatre Magazine, her sketches of some of the leading women being most unusual, because of their brilliant style of delineation.
