Gladys Leslie
Gladys Leslie (March 5, 1899 – October 2, 1976) was an American actress in silent film, active in the 1910s and 1920s. Though less-remembered than superstars like Mary Pickford, she had a number of starring roles from 1917 to the early 1920s and was one of the young female stars of her day.
==Film career==
Leslie began her movie career around 1915, acting in short films produced by the Edison Company. By 1917, she was making films with the Thanhouser Company in New Rochelle, New York, including ''The Vicar of Wakefield'' (1917). The ''New York Heralds review of that film dubbed her the "Girl With A Million Dollar Smile," and caused studio head Edwin Thanhouser to decide she was ready for leading roles.〔(12 May 1917). (Florence LaBadie, Irresistible Star, "When Love Was Blind" ), ''Calgary Daily Herald''〕 Soon she was starring in the lead role in 1917's ''An Amateur Orphan'', but was quickly wooed over to Vitagraph Studios and starred in a number of Vitagraph releases in 1918 and 1919. Leslie and another young female Vitagraph star, Bessie Love, starred in numerous films in young girl-type roles that were popular at the time.〔Slide, Anthony Slide & Gevinson, Alan. (The Big V: a history of the Vitagraph Company ), p. 90-91 (1987)〕〔Bennett, Whitman (June 1920). (The Artistic Influence of the Motion Picture ), ''Munsey's Magazine'' (photo of Leslie)〕〔Nunn, William Curtis. (Marguerite Clark, America's darling of Broadway and the silent screen ), p. 100 (1981)〕〔Dean, Daisy (21 December 1922). (News Notes From Movieland ), ''St Petersburg Times''〕〔(18 February 1926). (At The Theaters ), ''St. Petersburg Times''〕 Leslie's similar appearance to Mary Pickford was also often noted.〔Howe, Herbert. ''A Truly Ingenuous Ingenue'', ''Photoplay'' p. 27 (July 1918)〕
Leslie's association with Vitagraph ended by 1920 and she continued to make films with a number of different studios. Her first non-Vitagraph picture in 1920 was ''A Child for Sale'', directed by Ivan Abramson, where she played a starring role.〔(18 January 1920). (Picture Plays and People ), ''The New York Times'' ("Gladys Leslie, who recently finished the term of her contract with Vitagraph, has signed up to star in a picture to be directed by Ivan Abramson.") (film was "A Child for Sale")〕〔(Questions and Answers ), ''Photoplay'' (June 1920), p. 113 (reporting in response to a fan question that Leslie was no longer with Vitagraph, and had recently made a picture with Ivan Abramson, which would have been 1920's ''A Child for Sale'')〕 And in 1923, she had the lead female role in ''Haldane of the Secret Service'' featuring Harry Houdini. Nevertheless, her share of starring roles started to decline, and her last appearance was in 1925. She had always claimed, however, that she would stop making films when her bank account "has mounted high enough."〔Wollstein, Hans J.
