This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Margaret Mann''' (4 April 1868 – 4 February 1941, in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]]), was a Scottish-American [[actress]].

==Early years==
Mann was born in [[Aberdeen]], [[Scotland]], one of 10 children in her family.<ref name="laee"/> The family moved to South Africa when she was 12 years old. She worked at a variety of jobs, including being a dressmaker.<ref name="bg">((cite news |last1=Peake |first1=Mayme Ober |title=Former 'extra' wins acclaim in new film of mother love |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-boston-globe-margaret-mann/129050801/ |access-date=July 29, 2023 |work=The Boston Globe |date=February 18, 1928 |page=11|via = [[Newspapers.com]]))</ref> Her first involvement with acting came when she was 50 years old, portraying [[Martha Washington]] in a pageant.<ref name="laee">((cite news |title=Lightning of Luck Strikes Mrs. Mann |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/los-angeles-evening-express-margaret-man/129048843/ |access-date=July 29, 2023 |work=Los Angeles Evening Express |date=February 18, 1928 |page=7|via = [[Newspapers.com]] ))</ref>

==Career==
[[File:Margaret Mann in Once to Every Woman by Allen Holubar 1920.png|thumb|upright|right|Mann in an ad for ''Once to Every Woman'' (1920) ]]
Mann worked as an extra in films for 10 years, primarily at [[Universal Pictures|Universal]] and [[Triangle Studios|Triangle]] studios.<ref name="laee" />

She starred in a number of major silent films such as ''[[Black Beauty (1921 film)|Black Beauty]]'' in 1921 and played the [[lead role]] in [[John Ford]]'s 1928 drama ''[[Four Sons]]'', one of [[John Wayne]]'s first films. She often played kind-hearted or suffering motherly roles. With the advent of sound films her roles got notably smaller and she was often uncredited. She portrayed the kindly grandmother Mrs. Mack in two ''[[Our Gang]]'' [[comedy|comedies]] in 1931. She also played bit parts in movies like ''[[Frankenstein (1931 film)|Frankenstein]]'', ''[[You Can't Take It With You (film)|You Can't Take It With You]]'', ''[[Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]'' and ''[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington]]'' (1939). Her last of over 80 movies was ''[[The Remarkable Andrew]]'' (1942), released one year after her death.

==Personal life==

Mann's husband was an invalid, and her earnings from working in films helped to cover the family's expenses.<ref name="laee" /> He was an accountant, and they met and married in South Africa.<ref name="bg" /> Mann died of [[cancer]] in 1941, aged 72. Not much about her private life is known, although a press release of 1928 said that Mann lived through many tragedies and hardships in her life. Her spouse was James F. Smythe.<ref>Evans, Delight (May 1928). [https://archive.org/details/Screenland-1928-05-Vol-17-No-1/page/24/mode/2up?q=%22Margaret+mann+Smythe%22+%22In+Johannesburg+she+met+James+F%22 "Success at 60"]. ''Screenland''. p.&nbsp;24. Retrieved July 29, 2023. "She would rather not talk about the two babies she had, who died. She loved them, and if they had lived she would probably not be playing mothers on the screen. As it is, she lavishes all her mother-love on her picture sons and daughters. Like Mary Pickford, she loves all children, having none of her own to love. [...] If anyone had told Margaret Mann forty years ago that she would be an actress some day, all her Scotch ancestors would have risen up in wrath. She was never even inside a theatre until she was a woman. Her family, strict Scots, frowned on play-acting. Margaret, one of ten sisters and brothers, had to leave school when she was ten years old, and go to work. She was one of the props of the family; she mothered the younger ones and helped to feed them all.[...] In Johannesburg she met James F. Smythe, an Englishman, and they were married. Seven years in South Africa—and the pioneer urge exerted itself again. Margaret Mann Smythe suggested that they pull up stakes—and seek their fortune in a new land—America!"</ref><ref>Marks, Bill (September 5, 1928).
