Unref article. Appears to be on an actress with a long but not distinguished career. Unclear she meets WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 22:02, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Not sure how an actress who has appeared in at least seventeen Broadway productions (per ibdb and Brodway World), sixty-nine film credits as an actress ranging from 1908 to 1956 in films released by major motion picture companies such as American Mutoscope & Biograph, Vitagraph, Edison Manufacturing Company, Paramount, Fox Film Corporation, and Warner Bros., and three screenwriting credits for films released by major motion picture companies (per imdb) qualifies as having a "not distinguished career". According to imdb, she had the starring and secondary roles in the first several motion pictures released by American Mutoscope & Biograph as early as 1908, directed by Wallace McCutcheon Sr. and D.W. Griffith. Author Martin Shingler lists her as being being part of fourteen prominent stage actors who were part of Charles Frohman's stock theatre group specifically brought to Vitagraph in the early 1900s in the 2018 book When Warners Brought Broadway to Hollywood, 1923-1939 (some others others being Thomas H. Ince, Clara Kimball Young, Florence Lawrence, Maurice Costello, and Charles Stanton Ogle), as well as being among seven noted for Biograph's earliest stock of actors (including Lionel Barrymore, Mabel Normand, Harry Carey, and Blanche Sweet.) She is also cited in Roy Liebman's 2010 book Vitaphone Films: A Catalogue of the Features and Shorts for her lengthy career as an actress beginning in the 1900s and mentioning of her screenwriting credits. That she doesn't have much of a digital/internet presence, I suspect has to do with her "heyday" being in the 1900s and 1910s. ExRat (talk) 23:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
