Pavis in 1919

Yvonne Pavis (born 1890) was an English-born actress, writer, and producer.[1] She began acting in Hollywood in 1910 with the Vitagraph Company, occasionally acting under the name of Marie Pavis. In 1922 she went to Australia and formed a production company with Lawson Harris. After a brief time as The Yvonne Pavis Production Company, the company changed its name to Harris Austral Super Films and produced three features.[1][2] She returned to the United States in 1924. She and Harris married, but divorced in 1925.[1]
