    Description

    Mae Desmond (1887-1982)
    born Mary Veronica Callahan to Irish immigrants in Philadelphia. She joined Philadelphia's Chestnut Street Theatre stock company and took Mae Desmond as her stage name. In 1908 she married fellow actor Frank Fielder. In 1917 she formed her own company The Mae Desmond Players in Schenectady and performed in Elmira and New York City. Two years later she returned to Philadelphia and the Desmond Players attracted a loyal following as they continued to perform until 1932. In the 1920s Mae Desmond couldn't walk the streets of Philadelphia without being besieged by fans seeking autographs.
