GEORGE O'HARA EORGE O'HARA was born in New York Citv, where he received his education. He started his screen career with Mack Sennett and scored a big hit in Sennett's production, "Love, Honor and Behave." O'Hara also appeared to excellent advantage in Sennett's success, "A Small Town Idol." He played the leading masculine role in Sennett's "Crossroads of New York" and one of the principal roles with Shirley Mason in Fox's tentatively titled production, "Shirley of the Circus." After playing leads in Mack Sennett special productions he went back with that company and co-directed on shortlength comedies. But the screen needed him before the camera instead of behind it with the directorial megaphone in his hand, so for the time he gave up the idea of directing and turned again to acting. Many producers bid for his services. But he chose the role most suited to him. At present he is being featured in H. C. Witwer's series of "Fighting Blood" tworeel stories. These stories deal with the romances of the lightwight champion prizefighter. And because O'Hara "knew his stuff" from his training in collegiate activities he landed right in the midst of this series of starring vehicles. Later, it is planned, he will be starred in full length features. Portrait by W. E. Seely Los Angeles He is an amateur boxer and while in school was one of the mainstays on the football team. His splendid physique and athletic prowess make him ideally fitted for portraying the leading role in the "Fighting Blood" series. O'Hara brings to the screen a new characterization, that of the breezy young athletic American, up on his toes every minute and fighting every inch of the way. He measures five feet, eight inches in height and weighs 145 pounds. He has blue eyes and light hair. Boxing is his favorite sport. 193
