Here is a very obscure picture player from the silent era. From Wikipedia: Ruth Royce (February 6, 1893 - May 7, 1971) was a vaudeville performer and silent film actress from Versailles, Missouri. Royce appeared in the serial, The Vanishing Dagger (1920), which starred Eddie Polo and C. Norman Hammond. In 1923, Royce, along with other Hollywood actors, participated in a vaudeville show at Universal City. Royce assisted Joe Bonomo with a Strong Man act. She performed in a number of western movies over the years like California in '49 (1924), Warrior Gap (1925), Fort Frayne (1926), The Oregon Trail (1923), In the Days of Buffalo Bill (1922), Perils of the Yukon (1922), Rawhide (1926), Wolves of the Desert (1926), and Code of the Cow Country (1927). The latter was Royce's final film. Ruth Royce died in Los Angeles, California on May 7, 1971. Additional Notes: Her middle initial might have been V. Royce went to school in Kansas City and began her stage career with the Woodward Stock Company.  In 1919, she was listed as being 5’6” and weighing 130 pounds with black hair and blue eyes. Her home address in 1919 was 1824 Highland Avenue, Los Angeles (no longer standing).
