Kalem

[edit]

According to everything credible I can find, Roland started with Kalem in 1911, when they opened their Santa Monica studio:[1] "When my money was gone I applied at the Biograph studio - the biggest one then. This was in 1911." and "Then I got a phone call. It was Mr. Chandler, to tell me that the Kalem people were starting a new Western company and wanted a leading woman. He told me to go to Santa Monica and apply."[2] Her first film appears to have been A Chance Shot in 1911.[3] Accordingly, I'm removing the earlier shorts.

[edit]

An interesting example of Wikipedia making its way into outside sources is The Singing Heart (1910), which has an entry on Ruth Roland which appears to be an almost word for word reproduction of text from 1 December 2008.[1] --tronvillain (talk) 14:08, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
