    Cool find, Artolog! The actress headlining on the posters (both sides of the doorway) is Beulah Poynter (1886-1960). She was from St. Louis, which would explain her popularity in that city. Here's her IMDB page: www.imdb.com/name/nm0694718/ But there's no film listed there from before 1914. The New York Public Library has a lot of images of Beulah Poynter (she was on Broadway as well as in films): digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm... Title of the flim looks to be "Little Lord Fauntleroy." The earliest film version of that seems to also be 1914.

    thanks.. I was surprised to find no wikipedia (or other internet) full biographical sketch of Poynter, as she was clearly a top actress of the era, both on stage and later screen. She also wrote many plays, screenplays for films, and even had a spin as a pulp fiction novelist later in her career. I imagine her life story is very interesting. This image is dated 1910. I guess the theater was still putting on legitimate theater or vaudeville at that point, so it was probably a stage production. Poynter was born in Missouri and would have been 24 in 1910. I wonder if she played both the Little Lord and his mother, as Mary Pickford did later.

    Yes, Beulah needs a wikipedia entry. I'll put her on my list for when I get a chance. But if someone gets there first, even better!

    Here's Billboard's account of her Spring, 1910 run in St. Louis: "MISS POYNTER IN ST. LOUIS. Miss Beulah Poynter and her associate players opened a season of stock for an indefinite period at Havlin's Theatre. St. Louis, on April 24 to two capacity audiences. The first bill pre- sented was Lena Rivers, Miss Poynter's own version. Miss Poynter still remains next season under the management of Messrs. Burt and Nicholai and they will present her in a new and original play from her own pen. The present cast In- cludes John Bowers, Jos. Kelvin, Edwin Dale, Harvey J. Hayes, Ted V. Armond, John Renben, W. A. Colman, Carl Gilson, Ed. . Westrup. Beulah Poynter, Claribel Worth, Bertha Julian, Edwina Levin, Nettle Loodln, Tessie Lawrence and Harry J. Jackson, manager. " archive.org/stream/billboard22-1910-05/billboard22-1910-0... Little Lord F. was done the week of May 8, 1910 according to a later Billboard article at the same link above.
