Olive Sport...   Message List

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing but if you are
referring to the photo of Olive on a trapeze listing in the photos as
Olive Sport...

This photo is a promotional still from "Madcap Madge" produced in
late spring/early summer of 1916. The film was her first starring
role with Triangle and was a moderate financial success though Ollie
was roasted in the reviews of the period.

In the beginning of the story, Ollie is away at boarding school and
sets up some mischief in the gymnasium and the trapeze was another
useful way of kepping things moving. The mischief forces her
expulsion and she returns home unexpectedly as the "Madcap"

The film still exists at the Eastman House but was still in
restoration last I heard.

Olive E is correct that Ollie was involved in many photos that had
nothing to do with any film she was in. However, Ollie's earlier
photos with Vanity Fair and Conde Nast seem to be related to her
Follies work and appear to show her at her most glamorous. Triangle
tended to dull her up a bit to stress her everygirl image. STill
would be interesting to see her photos side by side.

Still think you are on the "Eve" of something?
