HELENE CHADWICK |OME are born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouths, but the town of Chadwick, on November 25, 1897, hailed a daughter of the same name who almost literally was born "in the silk." For Baby Helene Chadwick's father not only was an executive in the silk mills of that town, but the family was of noble lineage on the paternal side, a direct descendant from Lord Chadwick of England. The artistic came right along with the silk. The mother was an operatic singer and actress of repute. With these heritages, it is little wonder that the Helene Chadwick of future years should succeed readily in her chosen vocation, the cinema. While in the metropolis, she was prevailed upon by an artist to pose for a study of girlhood upon which he was engaged. A motion-picture producer engaged her when he learned that she had been raised "up-state" and was an expert equestrienne. This picture was "The Challenge." after which she played with Antonio Moreno in "The Naulahka." Soon thereafter she joined the Goldwyn players. Miss Chadwick is five feet seven inches in height, weighs 130 pounds, and has light hair and brown eyes. (At left) Birthplace of Helene Chadwick, in the town of Chadwick, New York.
