Her First Big Role
Virginia Faire Who Won the Fame and Fortune Contest Has Worked Nine Months Faithfully and Intelligently. She Has Her Reward In the Leading Role In "Under Northern Lights."
\\7HEN Virginia Faire was declared winner of the Fame and Fortune contest held by the leading fan magazines last Fall, Carl Laemmle,! president of Universal, showed his usual good judgement in placing the young aspirant for screen honors under a tentative contract.
Although the young woman had received oceans of publicity, although her features were known to the majority of motion picture patrons, and though she had displayed marked talent in the film produced in course of the contest, Mr. Laemmle did not at once place Miss Faire in prominent roles. He wanted her to begin at the bottom, learn the art step by step, and reach the top by her own efforts and through sheer merit alone.
After nine months of apprenticeship, Virginia Faire is now considered ripe for leading roles, and she has been cast for the chief feminine part in "Under Northern Lights," Jacques Jaccard's story of the Royal North West Mounted Police just produced at Universal City.
Jaccard, who has tried the girl out in several short subjects, is enthusiastic about her many qualities which are sure to endear her to the theatregoers. In the first place she has extreme youth, unusual beauty, and features which indicate a high order of intelligence. She is sincere in her work and persevering in her efforts to learn all there is to know about the histrionic art. She possesses natural dramatic talent, which the public will be quick to realize when "Under Northern Lights" is released for exhibition.
