Louise "Jule" Power (1880 – February, 1932) was an American silent film and stage actress.[1]

Early life

Power was born in Portland, Oregon to Richard B. Power and N. L. Power.[2] Her father died when she was young and she had to try to earn a living.[2]

Career

She had frequently been photographed by E. W. Moore who brought her to the attention of Baker Stock Company.[2] She did her first performance in 1905. Her first New York appearance was supporting Wilton Lackaye in Les Miserables.[2] When she performed The Kingdom of Destiny in Oakland California, she delivered a benediction from the top of the brand new Oakland City Hall wearing her symbolic costume from the play as a promotional stunt.[3]

She shifted to silent films in 1915. Her role in Gloria's Romance was noted in the press for the very fancy costuming, including an "Egyptian Ring"—an elaborate fur coat.[4][5]

Personal life

Power had been married to Frederick Esmelton Bryant, an actor and stage director.[6] She met Edwards Davis when the two were working together on the play The Kingdom of Destiny.[2] She and Bryant divorced in a very public proceeding involving Davis and Adele Blood.[6][7] She married Davis in 1915 following his divorce from Blood.[8][9] She had one son, Bonnie.[2]
