Jeanie MacPherson

JEANIE MACPHERSON is a living demonstration of what a studious, sincere young woman can do in the field of motion picture production. Born in Boston, Mass., educated in Paris, France, Miss Macpherson entered upon a stage career, during which she appeared in "Strongheart" under the management of Henry B. Harris, and in "Havana" under the Shuberts. Entering into photoplay work, she acted and directed for Biograph, Edison, Universal, Lasky, and Artcraft. Among the stories that she has written or adapted are "Joan the Woman," "The Little American," "Old Wives for New," "The Whispering Chorus," "Till I Come Back to You," "Don't Change Your Husband," "Male and Female," and "Something to Think About." At present and for several years past, Miss Macpherson has been personal assistant to Cecil B. De Mille in all departments pertaining to her stories, and her name stands among those who have done much to elevate the photoplay to its proper place as the eighth of the fine arts.
