Re: lost olive thomas production stil?

This is also from "A Girl Like That". Ollie had a minor role to male
lead Owen Moore (in glasses) as his matchmaking annoying baby sister.
Ollie is credited as "Alice Thomas" according to AFI.

A complete synopsis of the story was available through several
magazines of the era with a few production stills usually including
the better known Owen Moore in those dreadful glasses. The University
of Wisconsin has a portion of the story on microfilm. It should be
available in other archives.

The film appears to have been made on the east coast in the spring
1916 but not released for over a year. Production information is
scarce. Famous Players was in some turmoil due to a fire that
destroyed its New York offices at the time. As Ollie suggested
in "Work", they never offered her a contract and she moved on.
