A Woman Clippings 21/72
Photo-Play Review, New York, July 3, 1915.
Charles Chaplin in „A Woman“
& Edna Purviance has had the unusual faculty of endurance
in a profession where success blooms swiftly and
fades even as it blooms. And after seeing her, you readily
understand how her calm, unruffled personality
would make a superb background for an artist as undoubtedly
temperamental as Chaplin.

& Edna Purviance
is one of the loveliest of film comediennes, noted for her
clever playing opposite Charlie Chaplin, toward
whose success in fame and fortune she has tremendously
contributed. She was born in Paradise Valley,
Nev., was an Oakland (Cal.) stenographer, and her screen
pranks have aroused the risibles of hundreds

& Edna Purviance, the pretty blonde, who plays opposite
Charles Chaplin in Essanay‘s famous comedies,
likes to help make that the world laugh, and says that
laughter is like music to her soul. Miss Purviance
was selected by Mr. Chaplin from among some five thousand
girls who answered an advertisement which he placed
in a San Francisco newspaper. That she has more than fulfilled
his expectations that she was the best of them all
is borne out by the popularity which she won wherever motion
pictures are shown. Miss Purviance lives at the beach
near Los Angeles Essanay studio, and each morning takes
a dip in the Pacific ocean, which invigorates her and
fits her for the day‘s work.

„Write him a letter in German if you think he is a German spy“
Editorial content. „Fred T. Clark. – The girl who plays
opposite Charles Chaplin is Edna Purviance. Chaplin says
himself, he was born in France, of English parents.
Why not write him a letter in German if you think he is a German
spy? Postage to Los Angeles where he is working
is two cents, same as to Manayunk.“
