RUTH ROLAND
Black and white publicity photograph of Ruth Roland in a scene from
the movie White Eagle.
Photograph Inscribed and signed: "To John/You're a real/regular
'Fan'/and I'm/happy to meet you/Sincerely/Ruth Roland". B/w, 9¼x7. Ruth
Roland (1892-1932, born in San Francisco, California) was an American
actress with over 210 movie credits and who, at her height, rivaled
Pearl White as queen of the movie serials. She started acting at three and
had her own vaudeville act by her teens. She got her start in film in 1908 after
being spotted by a Kalem Company director. Her big break came with The Red
Circle (1915), the first of her 11 serials. Roland reportedly made more
money on real estate than acting in serials; this, plus her increasingly
imperious set presence, probably caused her to leave films in favor of
vaudeville. Roland made several comeback attempts - including the talkie
Reno (1930) - but these were unsuccessful. She was mostly forgotten, but
also independently wealthy, by her last film, From Nine to Five, in 1935.
Lightly bowed. Small ½-inch tear at lower right edge. Otherwise, fine
