ALT1: ... that nineteen-year-old
Gloria Gould managed the Embassy Theatre at New York City's Times Square despite having never managed a cinema before? Source: "Embassy Theater Another Monument to Thomas Lamb". Exhibitor's Trade Review: 35–38. August 29, 1925.
New enough, well cited, certainly long enough. No issues. There is a choice of five hooks here. The all look good to me, none really stand out as significantly better than the rest. ALT0 verified in the source and properly cited in the article. Can certainly approve with that. ALT2 is another good choice; the "all-women staff" might add a bit more interest.
Epicgenius, any preference?
