Effie Ellsler
Effie Ellsler (September 17, 1855 – October 8, 1942), was an American actress of stage and screen whose career had its beginnings at the knees of her parents and lasted well into the 1930s. She was best remembered over her early career for playing the title role in Steele MacKaye’s hit play, '' Hazel Kirke,'' and as the self-sacrificing Bessie Barton in Frank Harver's ''Woman Against Woman''. Ellsler remained active over her later years appearing between 1901 and 1936 in at least six Broadway productions and twenty-two motion pictures.
==Early life==
Euphemia "Effie" Ellsler was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the daughter of actors John and Euphemia "Effie" (née Murray) Ellsler.〔Vazzana, Eugene Michael - ''Silent Film Necrology'', 2001, p. 156〕 She first appeared on stage at the age of three in Cleveland, Ohio at the Academy of Music; by then under the management of her father. Ellsler's first role was the Genie of the Ring in a production called, ''Aladdin; or, The Wonderful Lamp ''. At age four she was cast as Little Eva in an adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s ''Uncle Tom's Cabin''. As a young girl Ellsler would often be asked to play juvenile roles with her father’s stock company while attending school at the local Ursuline Convent and, with the aid of her mother, ballet dance classes.〔(''The Illustrated American'', Volume 10, 1892, p. 121 ) accessed 5.25.13〕
It was during this period, and while still very young, she was called upon to do one of the apparitions in ''Macbeth .'' At the cue, she appeared behind the boiling caldron, when a flash of red fire startled her and caused her to forget her lines. Suddenly recovering her presence of mind, she thrust her hand into the bosom of her dress, drew forth a book of the play, and read the words. ''The Illustrated American,'' 1892〔
