Portrait of Mary ca. 1913 by Muriel Straithmore. Handwritten on verso is the hyperbolic "Mary Pickford knitting for the soldiers. She is the famous moving picture star. A Toronto girl." I would imagine that caption was concocted some time after the photograph was taken. Incidentally, Mary wore this particular dress in In the Bishop's Carriage (1913.)
Another portrait by Muriel Straithmore ca. 1913, here showing Mary interestingly with crock and a bowl of potatoes.
