The blue book of the screen (1923)

ROY STEWART IMONG the rank and file of Californians who are aiding the screen to scintillate is Roy Stewart, born in San Diego. Like several other thespians, Mr. Stewart attended the University o f California, following grammar school days. He graduated from college with honors. Desire, mentality and physique aided in taking him to the stage. He first played the Western coast in stock. Next he joined the Floradora company on tour. But constant travel failed to appeal to him. He sought the opportunity to settle down in his native State, and found it in motion pictures. Good looking, with a fine bearing and abounding with youthhood, he easily found work in the studios while pictures were first "looking up." The old Majestic first employed him. He then worked for the American and Universal, gaining reputation with every production. The Triangle signed him next, where he did such productions as "Wolves of the Border" and "The Silent Rider." He became more and more in demand from that time on. Fine Arts (Griffith) used him in "The House Built Upon Sand," "The Doll Shop," "The Fugitive" and other features. B. B. Hampton secured the rights to a number of famous books and starred Mr. Stewart. Among the productions in which he appeared under this trademark were "The Westerners," "The Sage Brusher" and "Desert of Wheat." Then followed "Just a Wife" for Selznick, "Prisoners of Love" for Goldwyn, and "The Mistress of Shenstone" for Robertson-Cole. Since then he has appeared for Universal, in serial as well as feature. One of his most successful serials was "The Radio King." His most recent series was put out under the title "The Exploits of' Yorke Noroy." He is of athletic build, being six feet two inches tall, and weighing 195 pounds. He has brown hair and eyes. 233
