CARTER DE HAVEN
JHEN one is born with a penchant for the stage, a snappy personality and ready wit, his vocation will find him out if no side-tracking occurs. Fortunately for Carter DeHaven, nobody threw the switch when he approached professional life, and a very lively and likeable comedian was the result.
Young DeHaven's singing voice first shunted him upon the track, aided by the native ability to "put them over." He sang in Sunday concerts with Brock's Marine Band. A vaudeville scout heard him and sent the news along the line. After the usual ceremonies, including try-outs, he was initiated into vaudeville. He soon became a headliner.
After a stage career which fixed DeHaven firmly as a public favorite, he was brought into pictures. Here he followed comedy lines also. This was in 1915, the year which robbed the stage of so many favorites. His first film feature was "The Col
lege Orphan." During this contract Mr. DeHaven directed as well as acted. He increased his average by writing many of his own photoplays.
Several of his best known screen productions have been adaptations from famed stage successes. He played "Twin Beds," "My Lady Friends," "The Girl in the Taxi" and "Mary, the Poor Girl."
Mr. and Mrs. Carter DeHaven live in a splendid Hollywood home of their own designing. With every luxury at command so far as the household is concerned, Mr. DeHaven has added a sub-story to the residence, which houses a little theatre, two projectors and a pipe organ. In the garden is a swimming pool.
Mr. DeHaven's accomplishments include piano and saxaphone playing, and skillful dancing. Among his hobbies are riding, golf, swimming and out-door sports generally. He is 5 feet \l/2 inches tall, weighs 150 pounds, and his hair and eyes are dark.
The beautiful Hollywood home of the Carter de Havens.
