WARNER BAXTER T took a training for the bar, a flier in the automobile business and a brief experience on the speaking stage to make of Warner Baxter the romantic screen player, whose brilliant work is a feature of Ethel Clayton's first production for F. B. O., "If I Were Queen." For the handsome young Baxter fairly stumbled into success. He had attempted half a dozen other business projects without finding the thing that would hold his interest, until he, as an experiment, accepted an offer to play a small part before the camera. His success was instantaneous. Before his film debut he was a member of the Los Angeles Stock company for two years. There followed numerous opportunities to follow this fascinating game, with the result that he was chosen to play the leading role with Miss Clayton in "Her Own Money," a Paramount production. Mr. Baxter's success in this picture led to his appearance in several other big productions, then a stage engagement with "Lombardi, Ltd.," the New York production, and a return to the screen. In the colorful role of the young Prince Valdemar, which he has enacted in the DuVernet Rabell story, Mr. Baxter believes he has the best part of his screen career. He is five feet eight inches tall, weighs 165 pounds and is a brunette. His brown hair and eyes give him an air of mystery and he has a natural poise. His home is in Hollywood, and he has turned the advantages surrounding his Western home to good advantage, making constant use of the out-of-doors. He is quick and graceful and is a combination of the qualities of a leading man — and a star. 11
