Anna Luther — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Anna Luther, who portrays various leading roles for the Lubin Manufacturing Company, has a title all her own, out at the Philadelphia studio where titles are quite the popular and correct thing.

“The Fifth Avenue Girl” is what “they” call her and she answers to it with her wavy red hair, her laughing blue eyes, her pink and white complexion and a manner of wearing her clothes that qualifies her for the ownership of the title.

It is about two years since Miss Luther identified herself with motion pictures. The Reliance studio was her first-work-shop and when Mr. Griffith took charge there, he saw Miss Luther’s photograph and sent for its original.

Shortly afterward the Lubin Company bid for her services and Miss Luther responded by moving her trunks to Philadelphia.

And there she is known as a base-ball enthusiast, a swimmer, a rider and a tennis-player.
