Although DeWittBodeen's 1969 article on Mary Miles Minter provided the first reputable information to be printed about her, erroneous allegations are STILL appearing in print as fact.
It is the mission of this article to try once again to set the record straight, and to re-establish Miss Minter's reputation as a beautiful, delightful, and talented actress, who was a victim of misinformation propagated by cynical writers, journalists, and film historians over the years.
In DeWittBodeen's interviews with Mary, she relayed a story about one of the Saturday night dances frequented by stars in the late 1910s.
