GLORIA SWANSON
IAJLTNG the seven seas while she was young and life was full of color; ranging many ports and absorbing the drama and romance of many countries — that was a portion of Gloria Swanson's education. Between times she attended
Gloria Swanson in her luxurious living room.
school the globe around, whenever the opportunity offered.
Miss Swanson was born in Chicago, March 27, 1898. While still in her teens she found herself all at sea, for her father was captain of an army transport, and took his little daughter with him on many trips.
It was understood that Gloria would enter office life as a business career after she had concluded her education at a Chicago finishing school, but the young lady had other plans.
Developments were quite sudden and, very soon, a young miss, just sixteen years of age, was posing prettily around the old Kssanay lot.
This was in the pioneer days. Next she
appeared with the then largest picture organization, thence she went to the Keystone.
In 1917 the young actress, who afterwards was to become known universally as the languorous lady of the gowns, starred for the first time. The production was, "You Can't Believe Everything," a Triangle feature.
She followed this by appearances in Sennett comedies, in which she quickly attracted a large following. Cecil De Mille then offered her a place in his productions. Prominent among these were: "Don't Change Your Husband," "For Better or For Worse," "Male and Female," "Why Change Your Wife?" "Something to Think About" and "The Affairs of Anatol."
Then she became a star in her own right, playing "The Great Moment," "Beyond the Rocks," "The Gilded Cage," "The Impossible Mrs. Bellew" and "Prodigal Daughters." Her most recent vehicle is "Blue Beard's Eighth Wife."
Miss Swanson has realized an early ambition to have a home beautiful. Her residence in Beverly Hills, near Los Angeles, is one of the showplaces of the suburbs.
Her eyes are gray-blue and her hair brown. She is five feet, one inch tall and weighs 112 pounds.
