ANNA Q, NILSSON
HEN one has the honor of bowing to royalty from the stage upon occasion, during a professional career in one's native country, it is little wonder that the favorite of such personages should make an impression upon the remainder of
the world. Anna Q. Nilsson was one of these fortunate persons. She was born in Ystad, Sweden, and at the age of fourteen was playing leads in repertoire at the King's theater. The scope of productions in which the girl actress appeared ranged from comedy to tragedy, and embraced Ibsen and Shakespeare.

The list of photodramas which have presented Miss Nilsson to an admiring public is a rather formidable one. Her more recent appearances were in the Barker production, "Hearts Aflame" and a featured role in Cecil De Mille's "Adam's Rib."
In addition to her studio work, and her constant study of the drama, Anna Q. Nilsson finds time to follow her hobby to the kitchen, for she delights in culinary art, and always is ready to discuss the newest pastry or delicate tidbit with anyone who will lend an attentive ear. Extremely fond of outdoor sports, she not only drives her own car, but is its chief mechanician.
Miss Nilsson has blonde hair and blue eyes. She is five feet seven inches tall and weighs 135 pounds.
