Mary Pickford - Muriel Straithmore Photos c. 1913

Portrait of Mary ca. 1913 by Muriel Straithmore -- whose most well-known, albeit still underused works featuring Mary are the "Votes for Women" and Mary "testing a luscious apple"(as described in the October 15, 1914 issue of Leslie's Weekly Illustrated Newspaper) photos. 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.) Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.

Another portrait by Muriel Straithmore ca. 1913, here interestingly showing Mary with crock and a bowl of potatoes. Gifted from the Pamela Short Collection.
