Evelyn Greeley

Of Austrian descent (née Huber), brunette silent screen leading lady Evelyn Greeley began her acting career with the famous Poli Players Stock Company. Onscreen with Metro and the World Company from 1915, she found her herself the leading lady of the short-lived (1916-1917) Dixie Film Co., starring opposite a very young Richard Barthelmess in Just a Song at Twilight (1917; re-released 1922), in which he is a lowly gardener and she his employer's pretty daughter. There were several other melodramas, mostly low budget, including some in which she appeared opposite matinee idol Carlyle Blackwell, who also starred in her final film, the U.K.-lensed Bulldog Drummond (1922). ~ Hans J.
