Madlaine Traverse was an American stage and screen actress from Cleveland, Ohio. Mary was her birth name. In the course of her career she is alternately billed as Madaline Traverse, Madeline Traverse and Madeline Travers.

Madlaine Traverses birth name was Mary Businsky. She was born August 1, 1875. Madlaine began her acting career on the stage in England. She married Max Traverse, who died in 1906.
