Miss Alice Toyce
§ — Ji Kalem Favorite
HERE are many famous actresses upon the legitimate stage whose beauty was directly responsible for their advent into the drama, Miiss Maxine Elliott and Miss Julia Marlowe being notable examples. Happy indeed is the director of the moving picture company who secures a young girl of striking appearance and who developes into an efficient photoplay actress, for, be it known, the picture drama is one of the most exacting branches of theatricals.
Some time ago Mr. Ivenean Buell, director of one of the Kalem companies, started upon a production which required as one of the leading characters a girl of distinguished beauty. Mr. Buell’s attention was directed to Miss Alice Joyce, who had achieved considerable fame in the field of art and whose beautiful features had furnished an enviable model for artists and photographers. The services of Miss Joyce were secured for this production, which immediately displayed her intelligence and particular adaptability for the moving picture field. Miss Joyce became enthused over the work. As a result she entered into a contract with the Kalem Company, covering a number of years, and accompanied Mr. Buell’s organization to California, where for some time past she has acted as leading lady in the Kalem productions.
Perhaps no young woman has ever risen so rapidly in popular favor and Miss Joyce is unquestionably the most talked of beauty in picture plays today. Her name and face are not only known throughout this country, but she is equally popular in Europe and the countries of South America where moving pictures are exhibited. She has recently made her debut in Japan and China.
Miss Joyce is an expert horsewoman and swimmer and possesses a lovable disposition which is at all times apparent in her striking personality. The public always sees Miss Joyce just as she is — a high-minded, intelligent girl, whose world-wide success has never turned her head. She is a particular favorite with the lady patrons of the picture theatres, who, as a rule, are the most severe critics, and it is not infrequently that one hears exclamations of delight when Alice Joyce appears upon the screen.
