Lois Weber — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Lois Weber is the accomplished wife of Phillip Smalley [Phillips Smalley] and is named as one of the cleverest members of the Universal’s many.

The Rex is the particular company in which she is seen; and she not only takes leads but writes many of the scenarios used and helps her actor-director husband in their production. A beautiful woman, is Miss Lois, with a wealth of black hair and a stateliness that has had much to do with her successful interpretation of impressive roles.

She takes the keenest pleasure in her work and gives to it a devotion that has brought the reward of general liking. Two years with the Gaumont Talking Pictures, as leading woman, passed her into Rex pictures and before that, the legitimate stage was her “prep” school for screen work.

“The Pretender,” a comedy, and “The King Can Do No Wrong,” a film full of dramatic possibilities, are among her latest photoplays.
