Lawrence, iph Girl," was their most valuable property and for a time was making two films each week. Her early releases included a one-reel version of Tolstoi's "Redemption" directed by D. W. Griffith, and a series of domestic comedies called the "Jonesy Pictures" with John Gompson playing Mr. Jones. Mary Pickford, who had been playing child roles in stock companies since she was five, joined the Biograph Company in May and made her motion picture debut June 7, 1909, in "The Violin Maker of Cremona." Her second picture was "The Lonely Villa" which was written by Mack Sennett. She then was teamed with Billy Quirk for a series of comedies. Others who joined Biograph were Henry B. Walthall, fames Kirkwood, Marion Leonard (from the stage) and Florence La Badie, an artist's model. Alice Joyce, also a model, joined Kalem. Maurice Costello left Edison for Vitagraph. They also contracted Mabel Normand, a fashion model. In the early days actors were often pressed into service as carpenters and scene painters, but when Costello joined Vitagraph and became known as "The Dimpled Darling," he set a precedent with his declaration: "I am an actor and will not build sets or paint scenery." Among the outstanding one-reel features Vitagraph produced were "King Lear," "Launcelot and Elaine," "Oliver Twist" with Elita Proctor Otis as Nancy Sykes, and a film of Annette Kellermann "in her physical culture exercises, diabolo playing, fancy swimming and diving displays." Edison's most notable film was "The Prince and The Pauper" with Miss Cecil Spooner in the dual role.
