The blue book of the screen (1923)

JACQUELINE LOGAN Portrait by Donald Biddie Keyes Los Angeles EAUTY alone is no longer sufficient to make a motion picture actress. H But beauty, combined with ability and youth is a magic combination that opens many doors. It carried Jacqueline 1 ,ogan from obscurity to fame in two years. At eighteen a member of the Ziegfeld Follies, at twenty she is a leading woman in pictures, and her career has only begun. Educated for journalism and short-story writing, she had taken lessons in dancing as a matter of recreation. Then, one day, the lure of the stage took hold of her, as it does every girl some time or other, and she "went to call" on the Schuberts, where she got a job as a member of the Florodora company, and later took the ingenue lead to succeed Margaret Kelly. When the company went on tour Miss Logan resigned to join the Follies. It was there that she attracted the attention of the motion picture producers. A flattering offer brought her to California, and awarded her the leading . role in a production. She was then chosen to play the lead opposite Thomas Meighan in the production, "White and Unmarried." She made a decided personal success, and established herself as an actress of more than ordinary ability. She signed a contract with Paramount, and played important roles in "Burning Sands," "Ebb Tide," "Java Head" and "Mr. Billings Spends His Dime." She also appeared in other pictures, playing in fourteen in all the first two years of her screen experience. After attending grammar school at Denver, Miss Logan was taken to Colorado Springs, where she attended Colorado College, taking a course in journalism and short-story building. She left the college in her sophomore year, to make an extended visit to Washington, D. C, and it was while there that the idea came to her to go to New York City. She is five feet, four inches tall, has a heavy head of deep auburn hair, and dark grey eyes. She weighs 122 pounds. 146
