This is part of a series showing what the silent stars featured in the 1917 Kromo Gravure Trading Card set were up to at the precise moment in time covered in a 1932 Motion Picture Magazine article, Stars Who Have Vanished by Jack Grant.

I’ve been using the IMDb, Wikipedia, my physical bookshelf, and especially the NewspaperArchive.com database to search out the rest of the story for each of these old time stars in attempts to see what became of them from 1932 until their deaths.

Arline Pretty

Stars Who Have Vanished, 1932: Does radio work occasionally on the West Coast.

What I Dug Up: The IMDb lists her with just a pair of uncredited appearances 20 years apart after the time of this 1932 article. Returning again to Slide’s Silent Players the author notes that he visited Pretty in connection with another of his books and that she “was then living in a small apartment in a dingy building less than three blocks from Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Died in 1978, age 91.

    I just bought “A Woman in Grey” – because it had a “pretty” cover!! and I
    was also interested to see an old silent serial. I look forward to viewing it.
    I am surprised at Miss Pretty’s age. That would make her in her 30s at the
    time of “A Woman in Grey” – she certainly kept her age well that’s for sure!!

      Diana, thanks for pointing out that title’s availability. I stashed a copy of the Alpha DVD in my oldies.com cart for future purchase. Their release gets a decent 2008 write-up by one of the IMDb reviewers. Hope to grab it some day soon!
