"Another silken creature with charm and appeal," the copy says. This ad touts "Saturday Night," in which she played "Shamrock O'Day," the laundress. I think the character may have been Irish.
Her bio:
Edith Roberts was born in New York City on September 17, 1899. She was a starstruck 19-year-old when she made her debut in The Deciding Kiss (1918). Although she didn't get the acclaim that her more successful counterparts did, she remained very busy throughout the decade and into the 1920s. After The Wagon Master (1929), Edith left films. On August 20, 1935, she died in Los Angeles, California, from complications from a horrendous childbirth. She was only 35 years old.
Yeah, those were the days. |
