Clara Williams — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Clara Williams is the cowboy girl who makes everybody sit up and take notice, when a Lubin western film is flashed on the screen.

Furthermore, she sees to it that the attention of the spectators does not wane, nor that even the most thrill-defying and calloused picture-show “regular,” could possibly have any complaint coming on this score.

A perfect whirlwind, once she feels the stirrup around her foot, she sets the cowboys a pace that takes her far and away from them. Such a scene in “It Happened in the Hills” makes that film one to be remembered. Though the “crack female rough-rider” of the company, Miss Williams, when not in a cowboy-girl role, has none of the mannerisms of such a character, nor does she affect a style of dress to typify a horse-woman.

The Belasco stock companies of the west are acquainted with the work of Miss Williams, who was born at Seattle twenty-three years ago.
