PATSY RUTH MILLER
fHEN Patsy Ruth Miller was just getting used to her name, she secured mother's shears one day and proceeded to make some doll dresses from several expensive, hand embroidered napkins.
During the calm after-the battle, Mother Miller decided that her prodigy was due to become a modiste. But, like many another fond parent, "she guessed wrong."
Patsy was born in St. Louis, Missouri, June 22, 1905. She secured her education at the Convent of Visitation and Saint Mary's Institute, a finishing school. Her father was Oscar Miller, a St. Louis dramatic editor.
The family visited Los Angeles more than two years ago, intending to return home after the season. But Patsy, subconsciously, had other plans.
There is little need to describe Patsy's charm and winsomeness. Douglas Gerard, a director, noted this youthful and attractive young lady while she was making sand castles at the seashore one sunny day. Mr. Gerard secured an introduction through Mr. Miller, and gave Patsy a modest role in a Doraldina picture.
The screen registered her personality and interesting "bag of tricks" so well that she was encouraged by the praise that followed. She went to Ince's studio, where she was given a part in the Douglas MacLean pro
lamine"; then in a Rockett picture, "Handle With Care," and in "The Wandering Boy."
Next she went to the Goldwyn Studios, where she had played several small parts, and was handed a contract. Her first leading role was "Watch Your Step." Next came her very excellent portrayal of "Mab Grout" in Rupert Hughes' special, "Remembrance."
Although she is still under contract with Goldwyn, many other producers admire her work to such a degree that she is constantly in demand when she is not actually working in a Goldwyn picture.
She recently appeared in the leading role opposite Charles Ray in "The Girl I Love." At the present time she is working in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," in which she is playing one of the leading feminine roles.
This winsome girl of the screen has dark brown hair and eyes. She has the ideal height of five feet two and one-half inches, and weighs just 105 pounds.
She enjoys swimming and auto riding.
