  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    Molly Malone (Violet Isabel Malone) (1888-1952) was an American actress who began during the early days of the silent film era. Born in Wisconsin, her father, Lewis Malone, was a metallurgist for mining companies. Her mother was Violet St. John, born in Nebraska to immigrant parents from England. She didn't get her first role in motion pictures until 1916 (or 1917), in "The Pulse of Life" (1917), making her a late bloomer in the film industry. By then she was 29, several years older than most actresses just starting out. Once she got her start, though, Molly appeared in 86 films between 1916 and 1929, with appearances in films such as "Sure Fire" (1921), "Across the Deadline" (1922), "Battling Bunyan" (1924), and "Rawhide" (1926). She retired from the big screen after "The Golden Stallion" (1927). – Compiled [1] [2]

    One of the all time greats! I just mentioned him in a comment recently and can't think where??? It's part of the "getting-old-heimers" I suffer from.

    Swordscookie Love the expression "getting-old-heimers"!

    Interesting - although I can't find reference to a Tom Mix visit to Dublin in The Irish Times, from 1920-1929. Although there are references to his visting England twice, in 1925 and 1929. Is there any more detail about the photo?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    vandillo Hmm! Have been investigating. Found the refs to England in 1925 and 1929. Checked a load of newspapers, and did find one reference to a proposed visit to Dublin, but that was late 1930s. Will keep searching. However, metadata on these W.D. Hogan photos is usually pretty reliable...

    Amazing to think this was the same year the Civil War ended!

    Kathryn McGuire (1903-1978) was an American dancer and silent-film actress. In 1927 Kathryn married George W. Landy, a motion-picture publicity director. George Landy died in 1955.

    James Montgomery Flagg called Ms. McGuire the most beautiful blonde in Hollywood. [1]

    "She is probably best remembered today for the parts of The Girl and Betsy O'Brien, alongside Buster Keaton, in Sherlock Jr. and The Navigator (both 1924) respectively." [2]
