Mabel Van Buren — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Mabel Van Buren was blown out of the “Windy City,” across several states, and brought up at the Kinemacolor studio on one of those prosperity gales for which the lake city and its weather man are justly noted.

In this case, however, David Miles was the direct cause of the high wind which took Miss Van Buren Kinemacolorwards.

He needed a leading woman, remembered the work of Miss Van Buren in a company with himself, some time previous, took a train to Chicago and on his meeting Miss Van Buren created the storm of entreaty which resulted in her giving up vaudeville popularity for the call of the silent drama.

And she’s not sorry a bit, for she loves active work in big portions. Also, she loves all outdoor sports, being an expert swimmer and horse-woman, and she gets all these things she loves, in picture work.

A very lovely woman is Miss Van Buren, with wonderful brown eyes, dark hair and pretty teeth.
