Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was released by Thanhouser Company, one of the first true film studios, who cranked out 800+ films between 1910-1918. They were the Marvel of their day.
LaBadie was called 'The Thanhouser Girl' and one of cinema's earliest major stars—she died tragically young in 1917 from injuries in a car accident, making this a haunting glimpse of lost stardom.
