(b. **/**/**** - d. **/**/****). Actress. Martha Rowson was a young girl when she acted in four silent films for African Film Productions: A Zulu’s Devotion (Joseph Albrecht/1916), The Splendid Waster (Lorimer Johnston/1916), Gloria (Lorimer Johnston/1916) and The Voice of the Waters (Joseph Albrecht/1918). She may also have been one of the Rowson Sisters, who performed as juvenile dancers at the Orpheum in April 1918. It is not known whether Bobby Rowson, who appeared in De Voortrekkers (Harold M. Shaw/1916), was related. (FO)
