Jackie Saunders — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Jackie Saunders, star of the Balboa Company, is known as “the Mary Pickford of the West,” because of the genius and talents she displayed as leading woman of many Balboa feature releases, notably “The Will O’ the Wisp,” enacted by her and the other members of the company amid a raging flood in river lowlands.

She is aged 20 and a native of Philadelphia, where her father and mother reside.

She became a cinema actress three years ago, following considerable stage work, portraying “child” parts.

Because of her shining personality she is called “little sunbeam” by her colleagues.

Among large Balboa productions recently produced she enacted the leading role, such as “The Square Triangle,” “Little Jackie,” “Rose of the Alley,” “Little Sunbeam,” “The Hunchback of Cedar Lodge,” “Gypsie Love” “The Breakup.”
