Florence Lawrence — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Florence Lawrence’s professional career is almost too familiar to need repeating.

Those who follow the screen know that her first hit was with the Vitagraph Company when the pictures were quite young.

Then she came over to the Imp company, where she played opposite King Baggot and later she moved to Lubin in Philadelphia, with Arthur Johnson opposite.

Later she came back to the independents, playing under the Victor brand. Then owing to ill health, principally, she retired from the screen to her farm out in New Jersey.

The whole motion picture world rose up as one person with a demand that she return. And she returned.

Today she  stands as the wealthiest girl in the film game. She is now a Universal star, and incidentally she is said to be drawing down the biggest salary of any actress on the screen.
