DOROTHY PHILLIPS Dorothy Phillips is of the old-fashioned-girl sort that loves her home above uil else. In real life she is Mrs. Allan Holubar. N emotional star of the screen who has carved an enviable niche for herself in the cinema hall of fame i s Dorothy Phillips. She first saw the light of day i n Aisquith street, in Baltimore, Md. Her education started at St. John's Convent, and she later attended primary school and the Eastern Female high school, completing her course there at the end of four years. Her name before she was married to Allen Holubar. the noted director, was Dorothy Gwendolyn Strieble. It was when she ran away from home to play small parts in the George Fawcett stock company that she took the name of Dorothy Phillips. It was in the Al baugh theatre, on North Charles street, that the young girl first faced the footlights. After a successful season in stock, in Baltimore, Miss Phillips accompanied her mother to New York, and was given the understudy part in "Mary Jane's Pa," a Henry W. Savage production. Her first leading role on the screen was opposite Francis X. Bushman, in one of his old Essanay films. It was one of the first in which Bushman had appeared, and was called "The Rosary." The engagement lasted throughout the summer, and in the fall Miss Phillips was re-engaged by Henry W. Savage to play the role of Modesty, in "Everywoman." It was there that she met Allen Holubar, who had one of the leading parts in the production. The romance which began while they were on tour, ended in what has been termed one of the happiest marriages of the entire Hollywood colony. Carl Laemmle saw Miss Phillips work in "Everywoman," and gave her a contract to star in the super-productions at Universal City. Miss Phillips is five feet three and onehalf inches high, weighs 125 pounds, and is gifted with a wealth of chestnut brown hair. Her eyes are deep-sea blue.
