Marguerite Snow  Marguerite Snow (September 9, 1889 – February 17, 1958) was an American silent film and stage actress. In her early films she was billed as Margaret Snow. Snow was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father, Billy Snow, was a comedian and a minstrel, and the family lived in Savannah, Georgia. After his death, her mother moved the family to Denver, Colorado. Snow attended Loretta Heights Academy and acted in local summer stock plays. Snow became an actress at an early age and played many parts while still a child. Her stage career did not begin in earnest until she was sixteen years old. Her first engagement was with James O'Neill in a revival of "The Count of Monte Cristo". She played in "The College Widow", "Mrs. Temple's Telegram", as Elsa in "The Devil", and at the Bijou Theater, Wheeling, where as leading lady of the stock company she played ten different parts. On Broadway, she performed in "The Devil" (1908) and "The Other Fellow" (1910). Beginning in 1911, Snow gained prominence in silent films made by the Kinemacolor Company, the Thanhouser Film Company in New Rochelle, New York, and the old Metro Pictures studio before it became MGM. In 1911 she starred in films such as "The Moth" and "The Buddhist Priestess". Some of her later feature pictures are "Baseball and Bloomers" (1911), "A Niagara Honeymoon" (1912), "The Caged Bird" (1913), "The Silent Voice" (1915), "A Corner in Cotton" (1916), "Broadway Jones" (1917), "The Veiled Woman" (1922), and "Kit Carson Over The Great Divide" (1925). In "Broadway Jones" Snow played a pretty stenographer at the Jones' gun factory as the movie's leading lady. This was the first "Artcraft" photoplay of George M. Cohan. She never made a movie after the introduction of sound to films. Snow was married twice. Her first wedding was in January 1913 to James Bosen, a director, whose professional name was James Cruze. He was affiliated with Famous Players-Lasky and was one of the best-known directors in motion pictures. During divorce proceedings in October 1923, Snow testified that her husband frequently beat her. A public beating was responsible for their separation.
