A Deliberate Disguise
When "Flying A" actress Mary Miles Minter wanted to walk around Santa Barbara without being noticed, she put on a disguise. "Mary possesses a hat and coat of ancient vintage, which she loves to don and go shopping all by her lonesome in Santa Barbara. Few who pass the little girl enveloped in the old coat and hidden by the drooping brim of the old hat would ever dream that it was Mary Miles Minter." – Motography, June 15, 1918
