Mary Pickford also filmed there. My great Aunt, Emma Reinauer and her husband Fred worked for Lubin. Emma was the cook. She had photos of Mary Pickford. The photos were stolen from her, and sold to Channel 12.

Liz, thank you for adding two more names to our list of the personnel at the Betzwood studio. I don’t think we had previously heard of Emma and Fred Reinauer. What a shame that your great aunt’s photos were stolen. It is true that Mary Pickford visited the Betzwood Studio in 1914. Siegmund Lubin wined and dined her and took her out to Betzwood to impress her. He wanted to star her in a movie. However, when it came time to discuss salary, she demanded much more money than Lubin was willing to spend. So, she never did make a movie for Lubin. They remained friends, however, until his death in 1923.
