Adele Lane — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Adele Lane, “risen from the ranks.” That is a melodramatic but nevertheless true summing-up of her career.

She is a new leading lady for the Lubin stock companies — new as a leading lady, but not as to her affiliation with the Lubin people. Miss Lane has earned this most recent of honors; and right regally she carries it, too. This, because, since the age of seven, the stage and stage-work have known Miss Lane almost entirely. Her art first called to her in the role of Little Lord Fauntleroy, whom she impersonated for four years.

Stock work and road engagements engrossed her for several more years until finally the actress sphere of the motion picture world claimed her, and she made herself at home in the Lubin realm. There, she served her apprenticeship as a juvenile, was promoted to the ingénue class and was graduated from that into the sphere of leading lady.
