1Q 1 [1 Pathe announced their film "In Ancient Greece" in 3 I U all color with "the flesh tints so natural that it is hard to believe that the people are only pictures on a screen." More independent companies were formed. Thanhouser, American, Majestic, Reliance, Nestor, Eclair and Champion were new competitors. Pathe opened an American studio. This year saw the beginning of many important screen careers. John Bunny, from the stage, joined Vitagraph and became the first famous film comedian. His popularity lasted until his death in 1915. Flora Finch played opposite him. King Baggot, a St. Louis stock actor, joined Imp and became a popular star and later a director. Norma Talmadge, a Brooklyn schoolgirl with no theatrical background, took two of her photographs to Vitagraph, filled out an application, and was accepted as a member of their stock company. She played bits before being given a role in "A Dixie Mother." Carlyle Blackwell, also in this film, had been in college plays at Cornell and a chorus boy before signing with Vitagraph. By 1913 he was a prominent film star. Tom Mix was a United States marshall of a small Oklahoma town when a Selig company arrived there to film a western. Mix thought he would participate. In July Selig released "Ranch Life in The Great Southwest" and Tom Mix was on his way. Other events this year worth noting: Vitagraph filmed "The Life of Moses" in five reels and released a reel a week. D. W. Griffith took a company of Biograph players to California. Mack Sennett directed his first film, "Comrades," for Biograph. Victoria Lepanto appeared in probably the first film version of "Carmen" for Pathe.
