English: Publicity photo of Alberta Vaughn from Stars of the Photoplay. Alberta Vaughn about four years ago was living very contentedly in her home in Kentucky. One day a promoter came to town and announced he was going to make a motion picture there and choose his entire cast from among the natives. Alberta was selected to play the leading role. The entire production was an amateurish effort, but her work was so impressive that the promoter advised her to go to California. Alberta heeded his advice. It was not all sunshine at first. It was after her appearance in "The Son of Wallingford" that she started her ascent on the ladder of fame.
