“Just because I like to be jolly, and have dimples, they insist that I shall play mostly comedies. But I have a lot of serious thoughts, and I don’t see why I shouldn’t have a chance to express them.” — Lillian Walker

“Lillian is the cause for 99 out of every hundred amateurs seeking careers in the motion picture field. Her beauty and grace, combined with youth and a study of this great field, made for a success sufficient to entice any young lady into the work. She lives very sensibly; her mother and sister and she live not far from the studio in a house which Lillian, herself, bought. So, with talent and good home environment, there is no reason why Lillian can’t attain her ambition – to be world’s greatest photoplay actress. The fads and foibles of the young women of today occupy no place in the life of Miss Walker. None – except turkey-trotting….A great girl, Lillian. Raised herself from 15 per in the chorus to 5,000 a year….She’s taking care of a sick brother; has him in a sanitarium; besides that, she’s paying for her house.” — John Bunny
