Harry Solter

Henry Lewis Solter[citation needed] (November 19, 1873 – March 2, 1920) was an American silent film actor and director.

In 1909, Solter began working for Carl Laemmle's Independent Moving Pictures Co. of America (IMP) as an actor but also as a director.

[citation needed] In 1912, Solter and his wife established the Victor Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

In 1913, they sold out to Laemmle whose amalgamation of several studios created the colossal Universal Film Manufacturing Co. Solter continued to direct for the new company until 1918 when health problems emerged.

With this new prosperity, Florence was able to realize a "lifelong dream", buying a 50-acre (20 ha) estate in River Vale, New Jersey.
