gDELE LANE, the very popular emotional leading woman at Selig's, was born in New York and started to carve her own way in life when at six years of age she played Edith in "Edith's Burglar." From that time to this she has gone steadily upwards. "Little Lord Fauntleroy," "Eva" and other child parts followed, until at the age of fifteen she made her appearance as a leading lady, a position she never relinquished afterwards. A long course of repertoire and stock led to New York again and she appeared under Sullivan Harrison and Woods, Brady and other managers. She was featured in "Eben Holden" and was the Jonquil in "Sky Farm." Vaudeville claimed her for many months, and she appeared with Mamie Seligman, Aubrey Boucicault, Cecelia Loftus and Joe Welch. For a long time Miss Lane was the Countess Dagmar in the Western Graustark Company, and when a wire came from Lubin with a good offer for motion picture work, she took it gladly in order to settle down for awhile. For nearly two years she was identified with the Lubin pictures and then joined the Seligs, where she has been for more than a year now. Adele Lane's work is very powerful. She can do nearly every kind of part, but particularly likes emotional and tense dramatic roles. Address: Selig Polyscope Company, Los Angeles, Cal. One Hundred Forty-two
