Very successful in silent films, Mabel had a tough time adapting to the
talkies due to her thick cockney accent, but still continued to appear
occasionally on television until at least the 1960s.
In 1934/5 made the film Pastorale in Austria with a young Michael Wilding in the cast but the film was never released.
Mabel Poulton became a star in The Constant Nymph (1928) and ranked as England's #1 female film star in 1928 and 1929, but she flopped in her first talkie attempt and appeared in only five other talkies in supporting roles.
