“Miss Pickford calls the cameramen who do the stills, ‘snooper-snappers.’ ‘Because,’ she explained, ‘they’re always snooping round, snapping me.’” -Motion Picture Classic, July 1918.

“Our Club” was a social club that consisted of many of the young Hollywood ladies during the silent film era, particularly actresses who usually played ingenue roles. The club was started by Mildred Davis and Helen Ferguson, who became fast friends when they met at the Writers Club to rehearse for a play. They decided that Hollywood should have an alliance of “true-blue friends.”
They chose “America’s Sweetheart” Mary Pickford as their club president. Other members included: Anita Stewart, Carmel Myers, Laura La Plante, Ruth Roland, Virginia Valli, Lila Lee, Zasu Pitts, Leatrice Joy, Gloria Hope, Claire Windsor, Ruth Dwyer, Lillian Rich, Lois Wilson, Carmelita Geraghty, Virginia Fox, Billie Dove, Pauline Garon, Gertrude Olmstead, Clara Horton, May McAvoy, and Edna Murphy.
These girls set the standards for Hollywood’s younger and up-and-coming set and dictated the fashions. Their influence was seen not only in Hollywood, but with fans around the world.
