Margery Wilson

Margery Wilson (October 31, 1896 – January 21, 1986), was an American actress and silent movie director. She appeared in 51 films between 1914 and 1939.

Wilson was born in Gracey, Kentucky and died in Arcadia, California.

Filmography

Life in the Film Industry

In 1914, Margery Wilson traveled to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood. Wilson finished her work as a film director by her late twenties. Her career as a film writer, director, and producer was short lasting from 1920-1923. Those three years did not include the few that she toured with her films. She was in a very wide range of motion picture films, but is best known for her portrayal of Brown Eyes, which was a D.W. Griffith film called Intolerance. She also had three dozen roles in which many she starred in.

Early Life and Education

Margery Wilson was born Sara Barker Strayer in Gracey, Kentucky. Going by the Twelfth Census of the U.S. of the 1900, she was Sarah B. Strayer in Tennessee. She received higher education in both Philosophy and Literature while also pursuing social service work. Starting out, Wilson gave public performances in Cincinnati at clubs, schools, and churches. Later, she was able to tour from Ohio to Atlanta with the John Lawrence players as the leading lady. By the age of sixteen, she founded her own theater company. She and her sister left for London on a world tour as musical entertainers. In 1914, Wilson traveled to Los Angeles and launched her Hollywood career.

Margery is a heavily buffered, lightly populated hamlet in the Reigate and Banstead district, in the English county of Surrey. It sits on the North Downs, is bordered by the London Orbital Motorway, at a lower altitude, and its predominant land use is agriculture.

History

This area was formerly very far from drinking water sources, being on Banstead Commons (also known as Banstead Downs), so was a lightly laboured hill farming settlement. The history of its importance to the national economy is that of its feudal centre, Banstead, which gave much wealth to its lord of the manor, particularly to the King's consort, who had it exploited by tenant farmers for more than two centuries as part of its wide Commons/Downs, spanning here the widest part of the chalky, grassy North Downs. The high quality of the wool is shown by a petition of the Commons in 1454, in which they prayed that a sack of wool of the growth of Banstead Down might not be sold under £5, when the price of such wool was "greatly decayed". The reputation of Banstead Downs for sheep is referred to by Pope in the Imitations of Horace, and by others.

The Winchendon School

The Winchendon School is a private day and boarding school located in Winchendon, Massachusetts, United States. Winchendon was founded in 1926 and is a college preparatory day and boarding school for boys and girls in grades 9 through post-graduate.

History

Williams College alumnus Robert Marr's seasoned prep school experience at Deerfield and earlier at Vermont Academy provided the perfect combination of skill and energy to take the school into its permanent home. As new Headmaster in Newport during the 1959-60 and 1960-61 academic years, Marr maintained the Hatch tutorial model while introducing his own leadership brand. Finding a new campus location emerged as an increasing focus for the new Head. His odyssey criss-crossed New England, visiting a fabulous farm-estate near Williamstown, potential farm compound setting in the Berkshires, properties in Royalston...while, finally, serendipitously coming across Winchendon’s present 220 acre campus-the former legendary Toy Town Tavern. Marr persuasively took his case to Simplex Time Recorder President Curtis J. Watkins, civic-minded owner of the resort. A lease- purchase option deal was struck. The school moved in summer 1961 to the setting-with its views of Mount Monadnock, Lake Watatic, as well as its own Donald Ross 18 hole golf course. Thanks to a major donation in 1963 by Winchendon's 1962 graduate Walter Buhl Ford, III (1943–2010) great-grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford, the school purchased the property and began at this location (1961–2011).

D. W. Griffith

David Llewelyn Wark "D. W." Griffith (January 22, 1875 – July 23, 1948), the "Inventor of Hollywood", was an American film director who pioneered modern film-making techniques. He is mostly remembered for the groundbreaking 1915 film The Birth of a Nation, as well as its sequel Intolerance (1916). He is closely associated with his frequent leading lady, Lillian Gish.

Griffith began making short films in 1908, and released his first feature, Judith of Bethulia, in 1913. His film The Birth of a Nation made pioneering use of advanced camera and narrative techniques, and its immense popularity set the stage for the dominance of the feature-length film in the United States. Since its release, the film has been highly controversial for its negative depiction of African Americans and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Today it is both lionized for its radical technique and condemned for its racist philosophy. Filmed at a cost of $110,000, it returned millions of dollars in profits, making it, perhaps, the most profitable film of all time, although a full accounting has never been made. The film was subject to boycotts by the NAACP and, after screenings of the film had caused riots at several theaters, the film was censored in many cities, including New York City. Intolerance, his next important film, was, in part, an answer to his critics.

W. Griffith

W. Griffith was the second head football coach for Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas and he held that position for the 1896 season. His overall coaching record at Washburn was 6 wins, 1 losses, and 1 ties. This ranks him number 24th at Washburn in terms of total wins.
