Virginia Foltz Returns to Profession (1915) 🇺🇸
Dashing Virginia Foltz, one of the stage idols of a few seasons ago, daughter of Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, the Los Angeles attorney, and now a prominent figure in the Los Angeles smart set, has been coaxed out of her retirement by the lure of the films and has joined Pallas Pictures.
She makes her first appearance in The Gentleman from Indiana in support of Dustin Farnum.
Virginia Foltz, prior to her marriage two years ago to a well known realty man of California, was known from coast to coast for her Pepita in Mme. Sherry, a part she played for three straight seasons. Prior to that she toured South America at the head of The Merry Widow.
The return of Virginia Foltz in the cast of The Gentleman from Indiana suggests the superior personnel which moving pictures are able to attract through offering women the opportunity to lead both a domestic and a professional life.
Her advent into the moving picture colony occasioned much surprise among her many friends in Los Angeles.
