略歴
From Wikipedia
Sylvia Breamer (9 June 1897 – 7 June 1943) was an Australian
actress who performed in American silent motion pictures beginning in 1917. Her
father was Sir James De Courcey Breamer, a commander in the Royal Navy. After
his death her mother married Judge A.G. Plunkett, formerly of Sydney,
Australia.
Sylvia's initial film efforts were with Colonel J. Stuart
Blackton films. She also performed in releases produced by Mayflower Pictures.
Breamer came to Hollywood with her sister, Doris, in 1920. Her mother relocated
also, residing at 837 South Catalina Street, Los Angeles, California.
Her first Hollywood movie was Athalie, a story of
spiritualism, directed by Sid Franklin, formerly the director of Mary Pickford.
The film was based on a work by Robert W. Chambers. Breamer worked at Brunton
Studios. Her work with director Franklin was released by First National
Pictures.
In 1921 Sylvia was signed by Director General Lloyd B.
Carleton to make features produced by the Rubayat Press and Photoplay
Corporation. Sylvia travelled with a Universal Pictures film crew on location
in Truckee, California. This was during the making of Bavu (1923). The group
left Universal City, California in an effort to complete scenes of the deaths
of Bolshevik characters in the Russian melodrama. Among others the film
featured actors Wallace Beery and Estelle Taylor.
When she came west from Australia Sylvia had just divorced
William Morrison, a director. She married him when she was only sixteen years
old. On 1 November 1924 the actress married Dr. Harry Martin at the Glenwood
Inn in Riverside, California. Martin, 34, formerly practiced medicine in
Chicago, Illinois. He served in World War I and relocated to Los Angeles after
being discharged from the U.S. Army.
Miss Breamer was an avid horsewoman. Another hobby was
seeking grunion at Del Rey, California. She owned beautiful jewellery. A
diamond bracelet was taken from her just before she departed New York City to come
to Hollywood. The bracelet was valued at $1,200.
Sylvia Breamer died in New York City in 1943.
