Betty Harte — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Betty Harte is everybody’s favorite. Dainty and pretty, she makes a charming ingénue and alternate leading lady for the western company of the Selig Polyscope Company.

She is wonderfully good as a boy and nature seems to have equipped her especially to play the part of a coquette.

This characterization has often been given her and she fits into it admirably. Daring, is one of the attributes that qualified her for the lead in a series of wild animal pictures in which she has many thrilling adventures.

Lebanon, Pa., was the birthplace of Miss Betty. It was there she received her education in a Quaker boarding school and developed a talent for acting in the school’s theatricals.

On leaving school, she became a stenographer, later entered a stock company and also appeared in vaudeville.

She and her mother moved to California where, after trying a company of her own, she joined Selig’s.
