Iva Shepard — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Iva Shepard, who plays the lead in “Northern Lights,” the recent five part feature release of the Life Photo Film Corporation, received her early experience in theatricals as a member of a San Francisco stock company, and from there worked her way up until she played opposite Richard Mansfield during the last two years of his life.

While on the legitimate stage she gained invaluable experience while appearing with the late Sir Henry Irving. Her role in “Northern Lights” calls for strong dramatic interpretation and has been characterized so successfully by Miss Shepard that she has been cast in the leading role in the Life Photo Company’s next big feature, which is a five part release entitled “Captain Swift,” written by C. Hadden Chambers.

Her natural talent supported by years of legitimate stage experience has made Miss Shepard known as an actress who can be depended upon to do “big” things.
