VIVIAN MARTIN
Vivian Martin, who is to star in "A Petticoat Pilot," the new
Paramount photoplay by Joseph C. Lincoln, at the Theatre
this week, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, about twenty years ago.
She has been appearing on the stage more or less all her life, having begun at the tender age of six when she played with Richard Mansfield in the celebrated French play, "Cyrano de Bergerac," by Rostand.
Miss Martin continued her work along juvenile lines with Andrew Mack and Charles Warner, later playing the title role in "Peter Pan." Other plays in which Miss Martin appeared, and in which she rose to the heights of success were: "Father and the Boys," "The Spenthrift," "Officer 666," "Stop Thief," "The Only Son" and others. Miss Martin naturally attracted the attention of the motion picture magnates, ever on the lookout for new "discoveries" and received numerous attractive offers.
Succumbing to one of these, Vivian Martin starred in such pictures as "The Wishing Ring," "Old Dutch," "The Arrival of Perpetua," "Little Miss Brown," "Over Night" and others. Later, with another company: "Merely Mary Ann," "A Modern Thelma," etc.
At present Miss Martin is fulfilling a long term contract with the Paramount Company for which she has appeared, in many well known and popular pictures such as: "The Wax Model," "Forbidden Paths,"
"A Kiss for Susie," "The Sunset Trail," "Molly Entangled" and "The Fair Barbarian."
The latter, a whimsical humorous comedy-drama was especially successful and for that reason "A Petticoat Pilot," also a comedydrama, and abounding in humorous touches, was chosen to follow it. "A Petticoat Pilot," the story of a daughter of Cape Cod and two grim old ex-Sea Captains, is one of the best of its distinguished author* s works, which include such well known novels as "Capt'n Eri," "The Depot Master," "Women Haters" and others.
During the course of "A Petticoat Pilot," Miss Martin, famed for her pretty frocks, has occasion to grow from ginghamed pigtails to daintiest frocks of Georgette and her gowns in the second part of her picture will delight the feminine contingent of her audiences.
Theodore Roberts, as Captain Shad gives a remarkable impersonation, while James Neill, Harrison Ford, Helen Gilmore and Jane Wolff as well as the other members of the cast have added not a little by their careful character study of the parts they portray.
