BILLIE DOVE
IRONOUNCED by prominent American artists as one of the most beautiful girls in the United States at the age of fourteen, featured in the Ziegfeld Follies and Midnight Revue at the age of sixteen, selected for the leading parts in three successful pictures a year later and then placed under contract to head the distinguished casts for the special stories series of pictures at the age of nineteen, is the remarkable career of Billie Dove, the New York beauty, who arrived i n Hollywood recently.
Few feminine players have attained the heights reached by Miss Dove in so short a time. Motion picture experts have unanimously expressed the opinion that she will prove a tremendous success.
Miss Dove is a striking brunette, five feet three inches in height, has brown hair and eyes, weighs 120 pounds and is unmarried. She is a talented dancer, singer, swimmer, horsewoman and golfer. She was born in New York City May 14, 1903, and educated in private schools in that city.
Her initial motion picture work was with Constance Talmadge in "Polly of the Follies."
She left the stage to be featured in "Beyond the Rainbow" and "At the Stage Door," two successful productions which recently were released. Her "discovery," from starring possibilities, however, was made bv Christie Cabanne, who chose her

for the featured role in "Beyond the Rainbow."
It was while a member of Marcus Loew's party, which attended the opening of his new theatre in Boston several months ago, that Miss Dove first came to the attention of Mr. Loew and other Metro officials. They were greatly impressed with her beauty and charm, as well as her stage appearance.
As a result, when they returned to New York, Miss Dove's pictures were obtained and flashed upon the screen in the private projection room in the Metro home office. A short time later her signature was affixed to a long term contract which made her a featured player.
