Audrey Maple (born Elsie H. Schroeder; 1899 – April 18, 1971) was an American actress, singer, and vaudeville performer.
Early life
Audrey Maple was born Elsie H. Schroeder in Trenton, New Jersey. Her father was a musician.
Career
Audrey Maple performed in vaudeville in a novelty act called Pianophiends. In the operetta The Love Waltz (1908-1909), she was half of a highly publicized "eight-minute kiss" during a dance scene.
She appeared in Broadway productions, mostly musical comedies, including The Arcadians (1910), The Firefly (1912-1913), Molly O (1916), Katinka (1916), Good Night, Paul (1917), Her Regiment by Victor Herbert (1917), Monte Cristo Jr. (1919), Tangerine (1921-1922), Princess April (1924), Naughty Riquette (1926), My Princess (1927), Sunny Days (1928), Angela (1928-1929), and The Street Singer (1929-1930).
Maple appeared in two films, The Plumbers are Coming (1929) and Enlighten Thy Daughter (1934).
Personal life
Maple's personal life involved enough gossip, scandal, and legal entanglements to prompt commentary in newspapers: "What again! It's perfectly terrible the way wives pick on poor little Audrey Maple, the pretty musical comedy star, and try to make out that she is a naughty girl." In 1928 she survived a car accident in Chicago that killed one of her co-stars, dancer Rosalie Claire.
In 1940, Audrey Maple married engineer and inventor Ernest A. Zadig, and retired from the stage. She died in New York in 1971, aged 72 years.
