Mary Heeley
Toronto Daily Star, June 1 1934
Mary Heeley (1911-2002) was the British junior tennis champion in 1928 and was ranked #1 in Britain in 1932. She was a singles semi-finalist in 1932 and a doubles finalist in 1933 at Wimbledon, and she was a quarter-finalist in the U.S. Open in 1933.
She might have been preparing for the 1934 Wightman Cup, but she did not participate in that year's tournament. She did, though, play a doubles match in the 1933 cup.
The Tennis Forum website has a longer biography of her, which indicated that she had peaked as a tennis player by the time the above photograph appeared. She apparently moved to South Africa and was widowed in 1992.
