Fay Tincher — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

Fay Tincher, “funnywoman” of the Komic studio, may at any moment break the stunt record of the Mutual.

In a recent release of the famous Bill series, she drives the Boss’s car at the rate of sixty-five miles an hour, and when the machinery indignantly gives out, she gets down under it and mends matters in a fashion which does her credit. Her first impulse, to call for help, as seen in the accompanying picture, she quickly overcomes.

The determination to show Bill and the Boss what she is good for pulls her through, and she scores a triumph which, as Ethel, stenographer and charmer, she has no intention they shall soon forget.

Miss Tincher thoroughly enjoys her reputation for being the most laughably hideous creature in pictures. She “takes off” the latest New Yorkisms in dress and manners, putting on an amount of style and swagger which is perfectly convulsing.

Zebra stripes in black and white aggravate the basque effect she recently has adopted. She glues false “fish hook” curls to her cheeks — and then dares to chew gum.
