Linda Griffith — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Linda Griffith [Linda Arvidson] is small and blonde and has attained the height of success in her leading roles with the Kinemacolor company in New York.

She is of a deep thoughtful nature, which is responsible for her forceful yet quiet acting, in films, and, in addition, is a student and a writer for periodicals.

California is Mrs. Griffith’s home state and her most thrilling experience, she claims, was her surviving the San Francisco earthquake and fire. She had been doing theatrical work in the doomed city and, after its devastation, went east where she became ingenue with Florence Roberts and Margaret Anglin. That was about the time she changed her name from Arvidson to Griffith and became one of the first members of the Biograph stock company.

Last summer she went to Sweden, visiting the homes of her ancestors, and on returning to the states, was induced to help make Kinemacolor famous.
