Movies Way Back When: The Newsboys Onscreen

A scene from “Green Apples.” (Reel Life, August 1915)

Even the youngsters who sold newspapers on the streets of Santa Barbara had their day on the silver screen.

“All the newsboys in Santa Barbara are film actors in . . . “Green Apples” [a ‘Flying A’ movie about] . . . stolen fruits and aching ‘tummies’ and a lot of pleasing romance.”
– Moving Picture World, September 4, 1915
