BEBE DANIELS
ONVENTS seem a long way from the stage, but the two have always gone
hand in hand with Bebe Daniels.
When she was not on the stage,
she was in a convent; when she
was not in a convent, she was on
the stage.
Miss Daniels was born in
Dallas, Texas, January 14, 1901.
Both her father and her mother
were associated with the stage and just ten weeks after her birth, Bebe made her debut behind the footlights, as the baby in "Jane." That was the beginning. After that the greater part of her babyhood was spent on the stage. Her parents moved to Richmond, Virginia, shortly after the engagement with the "Jane" production. They spent three years in the capital of the Dominion State and then advanced to New York. It was in Manhattan that she really

made her stage start. She played there
in Shakespearian repertoire when she
was four years old. At the age of five,
she continued her infantile histrionics
by playing child parts with the old
Belasco and Morosco stock company.
After a year, her parents moved to Los
Angeles. She attended the public schools
and a convent school in Santa Monica.
A few of Miss Daniels' best known successes are: "Why Change Your Wife," "Nice People," "Pink Gods," "The World's Applause," "Singed Wings," "The Affairs of Anatol" and "Glimpses of the Moon."
Miss Daniels is all of four feet four inches, weighs almost 125 pounds, and has black hair and eyes.
