Maid of the Wild
Maid of the Wild
Synopsis
Baby Marie appeared for the first time in this movie, seen as the little boy, bottom right corner in the sailor suit, though her name did not show in the credits. Ankerich explains in Broken Silence (p. 225) that prior to her first film Baby Marie often accompanied her parents who both worked at Balboa, and Marie was unexpectedly asked to play a little boy because no boy was available the moment production was scheduled to begin. Marie told Ankerich, “I had a Dutch bob, and when they put little boy’s clothes on me, I was the little boy they needed.” Baby Marie’s career was launched with this film.
Marguerite Nichols, future wife of Hal Roach, made 21 movies at Balboa; at right with Gordon Sackville.
Nichols, Marguerite (Margaret) (aka Marguerite Roach; b. 1895; d. Los Angeles CA, 17 March 1941)
