Adele de Garde — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Adele de Garde’s twelve years of life have brought her to a point of achievement far beyond that of most little girls of that age.

For Miss Adele [Adele DeGarde] is an actress with the Vitagraph company and is more than just a good one. She’s a very good one. In fact, she’s one of the best child players in the picture industry.

From nine until three-thirty o’clock on five days of the week, however, Miss Adele is just a school-girl; she skips the rope at recess time, hurries home at noon, eats her lunch, “yoo-hoos” for her chum on her way back and is at her desk again before the second bell.

But at three-thirty, when Adele and the rest of the sixth-graders have chorused “Goodnight, teacher,” and marched away with left-right precision and broken rank just without the door, Miss Adele becomes a child apart from the others. But when she enters into the work awaiting her, the result is that the Adele de Garde pictures are always good.
