LOUISE LORRAINE
OUISE LORRAINE, one of the popular leading women at Universal City today, playing in both features and chapter plays, started in pictures at the Century studios in Hollywood. She was given a "bit" in a one-reel comedy and from then on the absolute ingenuousness of her personality and its charming lack of sophistication brought her rapidly up the "line" professionally. The characteristic about her which fans most often comment upon is her air of childish simplicity, resulting primarily from two important facts: That she began in pictures at the age of sixteen with a mother who was constantly with her and protected her from the "rough edges" — and that she is today, after two years' experience, just as much of a girlish optimist as she ever was.
With Roy Stewart in "The Radio King" and with Art Acord in "The Oregon Trail," she achieved success of a promising sort a few months ago. Both were chapter plays and with the exception of the "Tarzan" serials they were her first ventures away from the comedy field.
Then she was put into "The Gentleman From America," in which Hoot Gibson starred, and qualified immediately for feature work. After a short vacation she was assigned to play opposite William Desmond in "McGuire of the Mounted."

demand as much as she can work, and it is doubtful if she will become a free lance artist for some time. She is one of several young girls trained for stardom at the walled city where Carl Laemmle's pictures are made just outside of Hollywood.
She is a native of California and a descendant of an old French and Castilian family. That accounts for her almost black hair and dark brown eyes.
Miss Lorraine is an outdoor girl. She is an expert horsewoman and swimming and hiking are among her recreations.
She is five feet, two inches in height and weighs 100 pounds.
