Note: Around 1915, Adelaide O’Brien, who lived at 500 West 124th Street, New York City, was a cabaret singer. Was she the Thanhouser player?
Note: A Thanhouser advertisement in Reel Life, August 22, 1914, attributes a role in McCarn Plays Fate, actually a Reliance film, to A.E. O’Brien, while other accounts assign the same role to Thomas O’Brien. This suggests that A.E. O’Brien was a male actor.
