DOROTHY DALTON
Dorothy Dalton in a dramatic scene with Jack Holt.
F her father's desires had been fulfilled, Dorothy Dalton now would be a member of the bar, confounding the court with Latin and hypothetical questions.
Mr. Dalton was a realtor, engaged in serious business. He believed that there should be no nonsense about a girl's career. He had this belief when Dorothy was born in Chicago, September 22, 1894, and he stuck to the belief that there should be a lawyer in the family, despite the fact that his offspring was not a son.
There was no reason, he argued, that his daughter should not be as practical in her vocation as a man in after years, and he believed it to be an excellent idea to adjust his Dorothy to this scheme, that she might take care of the legal end of his big realty brokerage business, in due season.
Later, while Dorothy was a young lady, attending Sacred Heart Academy, in Chicago, she gave her father her version of the career she should enter. She wanted to go on the stage.
Mr. Dalton, seeing that his daughter was determined upon this course, did what he
could to further her aspirations. He sent the academy graduate to the American Conservatory, where she received instruction in dramatic art under Hart Conway, now deceased.
She began her professional career in stock, following with an Orpheum contract. Then she played leads with B. F. Keith.
The All Star Film Corporation was operating at Portland, and induced Miss Dalton to appear before the camera.
Therefore Miss Dalton journeyed to Hollywood in 1915 and was engaged by Ince to play a feature role in "The Jungle Child." She "put it over" with such success that she remained with that producer five years, some of her successes being 'The Price Mark," "Flame of the Yukon," "Market of Souls," "Love Letters," "His Wife's Friend" and "Black Is White."
Next she signed with Paramount, appearing in DeMille's "Fool's Paradise," "Moran of the Lady Letty," "The Woman Who Walked Alone," "Idol of the North," "Behind Masks," "Tharon of Lost Valley," "On the High Seas," "Dark Secrets" and "The Law of the Lawless."
The star is 5 feet \y2 inches tall and weighs 127 pounds. Her hair is dark brown and her eyes blue. Outdoor sports appeal to her. She is fond of motoring and horseback riding. She is an expert swimmer and handles a canoe with skill.
Dorothy was late to work, so sneaked over the back fence at Laskv's studio.
