Called "The Spider Woman" or "The Tiger Woman" as one of silent
screen's most infamous and exotic vamps.
At one time a serious rival to Theda Bara', a critic dubbed Louise the "best actress of all the screen vamps". As the vamp fad began to outstay its welcome, her popularity also declined. Louise's increase in girth further contributed to her leaving the industry in 1925. She continued to act on stage and on the East Coast vaudeville circuit.
Former president of the Matinee Musical Club and past state president of the California Federation of Music Clubs.
In January 1935, opened the "Louise Glaum Little Theatre" of Union Square in Los Angeles. Purchased another theatre, called "Louise Glaum's Happy Hollow" in downtown L.A., which opened in September 1939.
