'The Yankee Girl' is a 1915 silent film comedy produced by Oliver Morosco, distributed by Paramount Pictures and starring Blanche Ring, from the Broadway stage.[http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=16651 AFI online Catalog Feature Films: 'The Yankee Girl'][http://silentera.com/PSFL/data/Y/YankeeGirl1915.html 'The Yankee Girl' at silentera.com] This film though a comedy is actually based on Ring's 1910 musical-comedy play of the same name. Being a silent film of course Ring's singing could not be heard by the film audiences but they would get the rare chance of seeing this Broadway star in a film as many could not afford to make the journey to New York to see her in person in the play.

This film was shot at Pasadena California.

It is preserved in the Library of Congress and at UCLA Film and Television.'Catalog of Holdings, The American Film Institute Collection and The United Artists Collection at The Library of Congress' p.213 c.1978 published by The American Film Institute][http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/loc.mbrs.sfdb.2636/default.html The Library of Congress American Silent Feature Film Survival Catalog:'The Yankee Girl']
