How I Track Down Maude Pix

This is one way I track down photos of Maude. I have an Rss feed from ebay to my Yahoo home page that updates whenever a new photo of Maude show up on the auction site. I can instantly see if I already have it, or go to the page itself. Kewl, huh?

I also visit the Maude Fealy Postcard Gallery frequently to see if Andy has added anything.

Here is a photo of Maude, and her mother, Margaret Fealy. The two were very close, and with the exception of Maude’s married days, lived together until Margaret died in 1955.  This photo is from Andy’s Maude Fealy Postcard Site. (I love him)! Wasn’t she the most gorgeous little girl??? Look at that lovely thick hair.  Wow! As someone who has hair I can pull into a pony tail the size of a dime, I am impressed!!!

This is another nice example of hand coloring. I didn’t do this one!! Real vintage color!

This is such a pretty hand-colored photo of Maude,  I couldn’t resist it!! I am such a sucker for her purdy face!

I like to experiment with photos, and Maude’s photos are no exception. Here is one of my favorites.

We always need Peace on Earth!

I’ve not seen this photo before. Nice, isn’t it??

Maude Fealy both wrote and starred in this Madame X-inspired melodrama about a woman, Margaret, who takes up with a reckless youth, Jack Dacres (James Cruze), solely due to the neglect of her husband, James Watson (Gardner Crane). Caught in a compromising situation, Margaret is ordered out of the house. Desperate and alone, she has no other choice than to seek refuge with the man who had caused her ruin in the first place. Twenty years pass and Margaret and Jack are running a gambling house in New York. The district attorney raids the joint and Margaret recognizes the young prosecutor as her own son, Tom (William Schappe). Jack is killed in the ensuing struggle and Margaret faces time in prison for her involvement in the gambling house. She is saved in the nick of time by James Watson, now acting in defense of the woman he once abandoned. Most critics applauded Miss Fealy’s acting but found her play rather somber and not a little melodramatic. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Heh, one of those quick, but bad decisions. I did that once. I lasted four months, so she outranks me in the getaway speed department! GO, Maude!
