Biography:A veteran of musical comedy and vaudeville, American silent-screen comedian "Louise Carver" used her plain, Midwestern visage to utmost effect in attempting to seduce "Harold Lloyd" in "Somewhere in Turkey" (1918), and as the cigar-chomping housekeeper in Harold Langdon's "The First 100 Years" (1924). Carver's career was mostly taken up with two-reel comedies, but she appeared in feature films as well: "The Big Trail" (1930) as "El Brendel"'s harridan of a mother-in-law, "Riders of the Desert" (1932) as "Al St. John"'s wife, and "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" (1933) as "Chester Conklin"'s wife. Carver was married to stage and screen comic "Tom Murray". ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
