Portrait by Fretilich I.os Angeles
Miss La Rue has had many thrilling experiences in pictures, having been attacked and bitten by a lion, and once a snake tried to crush her and had to be cut loose from her body.
In "The Social Buccaneer," a recent Universal serial, and several recent feature productions, Miss La Rue has played vampire roles. In "The Lost Romance," directed by William de Mille, she played the oldest character of her career, a forty-yearold spinster that offered a lovely characterization. Her roles always have an exotic character and her performances have the flavor of her foreign characteristics.
