 Adele Vicenta Fillis was the daughter of [[Frank Fillis]], a prominent circus proprietor and showman who toured South Africa and the Far East during the turn of the 19th century.  Her mother was Elisa Maria Vicenta Mayol, a Spanish-born circus performer.  Born in India, she attended the Convent of the Holy Family in Parktown and thereafter performed as a highly regarded and popular equestrienne, first in her father’s shows and thereafter in her divorced mother’s rival circus.  The first film in which she appeared was [[I.D.B.]] (1912), probably directed by [[Frank Fillis Jr.]] in which she acted with her husband-to-be, [[Harry Vine]].  Subsequently she appeared in four silent features: ''[[Fallen Leaves]]'' ([[Dick Cruikshanks]]/1919), ''[[Copper Mask]]'' ([[Joseph Albrecht]]/1919), ''[[Prester John]]'' ([[Dick Cruikshanks]]/1920) and ''[[The Vulture’s Prey]]'' ([[Dick Cruikshanks]] & [[William Bowden]]/1922), all for [[African Film Productions]].  [[S.A. Pictorial]] reported that for ''[[Copper Mask]]'' she did her own stunt work, taking a four-metre dive into a river in order to rescue a “drowning man”.  In 1913 she had married [[Harry Vine]] Gandar, who also acted with her in ''[[The Vulture’s Prey]]''.  Their son, Laurence Gandar, was to become the crusading anti-apartheid editor of the [[Rand Daily Mail]].  [[Cecil Fillis]], who acted in ''[[The Man Who Was Afraid]]'' (1920), was her brother, while [[Frank Fillis Jr.]], who appeared in ''[[King Solomon’s Mines]]'' (1918), was her half-brother.  (FO)
