From Wikipedia
Bessie Barriscale (September 30, 1884 – June 30, 1965) was
an American silent film and stage actress, and a major star for producer Thomas
Ince in the late 1910s.
She was born Elizabeth Barry Scale, in Hoboken, New
Jersey to Irish immigrants from County Cork. Her cousins were actresses Edith
and Mabel Taliaferro. In the first decade of the 20th century Barriscale worked
in the legitimate theatre on Broadway and on the road as movies were not popular
for stage actors yet. She began her film career in 1913, and worked intensively
for New York Motion Picture Company and Triangle Film Corporation (among other
studios) until she announced her retirement in the early 1930s.
