Bliss Milford — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Bliss Milford is a talented young actress with big blue eyes and a charming disposition.

Her stage experience dates back to the time when, as a child, she overruled her father’s objections and carried a flag in the picnic scene in The County Chairman. George Marion, the stage director, was impressed by her earnestness and coached her in the line which was to be given to one of the little girls.

Later she took a small part in a Stair & Havlin road production and the following year was made ingénue. Promotions and offers then followed in quick succession until she was soon appearing on Broadway. She created the role of Sally Ann in The Candy Shop and the titular role in Sentimental Sally.

Her advent into pictures was purely accidental. Living near the Edison studio she thought to fill in her time between seasons by taking extras, but liked the work so well she remained in it.
