Ruth Stonehouse

Curiously, her mother lists herself as a widow on the 1910 Census, while James Stonehouse can be found residing in Arizona.

[citation needed] In 1917, Stonehouse directed the films Daredevil Dan, A Walloping Time, The Winning Pair, A Limb of Satan, Puppy Love,[4] and Tacky Sue's Romance.

Here she entertained men and women of prominence in the film world, cooking culinary masterpieces which her friends deemed superior to most chefs.

Her home, located at 204 North Rossmore Avenue in Los Angeles, California, was an adaptation of a Spanish design that was situated well to the front of a large lot.

She was an active worker in the Children's Home Society for twenty-five years and also a member of the Garden Club of California.
