Maude Fealy — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸
Maude Fealy was the young woman engaged by Sir Henry Irving to’ portray the roles enacted by Ellen Terry, when the great English star was preparing to open another London season and she completely captivated her public.
Before that she had been with William Gillette in Sherlock Holmes and during her career as a star of the legitimate stage has supported such celebrated thespians as E. S. Willard, Richard Mansfield, William Collier, Nat C. Goodwin and Robert Hilliard.
She was among the first of the great legitimate players to join a motion picture stock company and has been starred by C. J. Hite in [Charles J. Hite] Thanhouser features that are notable for their artistic qualities.
Her most recent Thanhouser successes are “Moths,” “Frou Frou” and “The Legend of Province.” Far from losing her old friends by the change to pictures, Miss Fealy finds that she has added hundreds of new ones.
