1937

Hollywood: Saturday, September 25, 1937 - Funeral services were held here yesterday (Friday, September 24, 1937) for Ruth Roland, star of movie serials in the silent film days, at the Wee Kirk o' the Heather. Genevieve Smith, who presided at the rites for Jean Harlow, conducted the services. W.S. Van Dyke, film director, delivered the eulogy. Three musical numbers were played by David Rubinoff and Salvatore Santelle, with song solos by Donald Novis. Pallbearers were Sid Grauman, Joseph Breen, Robert Z. Leonard, Clarence Hutson, Bartley Hezvrun, Harry Zepner and Los Angeles District Attorney Buron Fitts. The body was placed in a crypt beside that of Miss Roland's mother, Mrs. Lillian Elizabeth Roland.

1934

In October 1934 she sued Billie Dove and her husband, Robert Kenaston, for $10,000 in damages after the couple's dogs attacked her. It appears that the suit was settled out of court.

1933

On April 17, 1933, her car was burgled in Hollywood. Among the items stolen were two dresses, a fur scarf and several children's Easter gifts. The value of the stolen items was roughly $382.

1923

However, by 1923 she decided she had had enough and didn't renew her contract (she didn't need the money, as over the years she had become an astute businesswoman and real estate investor and amassed a fortune). She went back to vaudeville, and spent the next few years on the stage, with a film or two along the way.

1915

In 1915 she left Kalem for Balboa Pictures, and appeared in her first serial there the same year. She proved so popular that she was able to form her own production company, and over the next several years appeared in 11 serials, each one cementing her popularity.

1911

Ruth Roland was, along with Pearl White, the queen of the early movie serials. She came from a show-business family, her father being a San Francisco theater manager and her mother a professional singer. Ruth made her acting debut at age 3-1/2, and soon became a professional actress and singer. Her parents divorced, then her mother died when Ruth was eight and she went to live with an aunt in Los Angeles, where she soon had her own vaudeville act. It was there she was spotted by a director for Kalem Studios. His offer of a movie career was quickly accepted, and she made her film debut in 1911. She made every kind of film for the studio, but was especially good in westerns and comedies.
