The first of these film productions, entitled "The Sea Wolf," has involved prolonged preparation and research, and its presentation at the palatial Strand Theatre in New York on May 4th, 1914, was hailed with considerable eclat. The Bosworth company has its plans laid for years ahead for productions of a similar nature, and its success from the outset has indicated that any effort to reveal on the screen the unusual photoplay in preference to adaptations of stage plays that have exhausted their vogue in the older field is a step in the right direction.
Florence Turner, famous as "The Vitagraph Girl," joined that organization about seven years ago, when its artistic roster included less than a dozen players. Miss Turner was on the stage almost from childhood, her ancestors being stage folk. Her long association with the Vitagraph Company revealed an amazing grasp on her part of the art of camera acting, and to this day Miss Turner has not been approached as an interpreter of characters without vocal expression. Adept as a pantomimist and impressed with the possibilities for her future career, "The Vitagraph Girl" soon mastered the maze of intricate problems which have enabled her to become not only a star of the screen but a prolific writer of photoplays and one of the few efficient directors of her sex as well.
,When Miss Turner left the Vitagraph Company in 1913, many believed that such procedure on her part was ill-advised. Yet there is no better illustrative example as to certain theories held by film authorities who insist that the photoplayer should not appear in the flesh before the moving picture public than to point to the achievements of Miss Turner during the past year.
