JULIA FA YE "KWrtittit' I, minimal ■ ■■■ [IRGINIA has produced many beautiful daughters, and one of these is Julia Faye, who scintillates in pictures. Her home city is Richmond, where she was born on September 24, 1898. She was educated in private and public schools in St. Louis, Mo., where she went with her parents when she was very young. She also was a student at the Illinois University for one year, but not, as commonly reported, to become a teacher. This method of earning her living never did appeal to the sprightly young actress, and from the moment she was given a choice in choosing her career, her preference was for the screen. She had comparativelylittle difficulty in obtaining a part in motion pictures. This was in 1915, her first "bit" being in the D. W. Griffith production, "Intolerance." She soon obtained the lead role in " Don Quixote," with De Wolf Hopper. She remained with Griffith for six months, and then played in six comedies for Sennett. She was not one to scorn comedy parts. She had her first leading role with Paramount in 1917, in "A Roadside Impresario," some of her other successes afterward being with Wallace Reid in "The Hostage," "Old W7ives for New," "Saturday Night," "Nice People," "Forbidden Fruit." "The Love Special," "The Affairs of Anatol," "Fool's Paradise" and "Adam's Rib," a list of which any screen star might well be proud. Miss Faye's name in private life is Julia Faye Covell. She is five feet two and a half inches tall, and weighs 115 pounds. She lives in Hollywood and one of her favorite hobbies is gardening. She takes great delight in this form of recreation, and her home is surrounded by many blooms of different varieties and beauty. She also finds much enjoyment in collecting Oriental objects of art value, and one of the show rooms of her home, the Chinese room, is filled with these articles. She also rides horseback a great deal, and is known as one of Hollywood's most graceful and accomplished equestriennes. 83
