WALLACE REID'S LETTERS AND LIFE
Being An Account of the Activities of Wallace Reid Now Starring in
"Rimrock Jones"
Popular Wallace Reid, who is to appear at the Theatre
on in his latest Paramount picture, "Rimrock Jones,"
probably receives more letters in a day from admiring film fans than the Governor of his state receives for office, which as Wallace, himself, would put it is "going some." Most of these letters are written in the familiar up and down stub pen back hand bearing the undeniable stamp of feminine origination. The best of it all is, that Wally (those who know him call him Wally, and those who know him well call him Wally, too) deserves all the nice things that are said about him in these letters.
Wallace Reid, the recipient of all this mail, was born in St. Louis, Mo., about 25 years ago. He is the son of Hal Reid, the noted writer of melodrama, and made his first appearance on the stage at the early age of 4 years when he played the little girl in "Slaves of Gold." His family moved to New York when Wallace was 10 years old, and there he attended the public schools and later going to New Jersey military academy at Freehold, N. J. Later he lived in Wyoming in the Big Basin district, and returned again to New York where he secured a job as a cub reporter. Since then he has appeared in vaudeville, held an editorial position on the staff of the Motor Magazine and performed all sorts of duties in motion picture capacities from acting to directing and back. Wallace Reid has appeared several times in support of Geraldine Farrar in her famous photoplay productions, among them being, "Joan the Woman," "The Woman God forgot" and "The Devil Stone."
Mr. Reid's latest Paramount productions are "The Hostage," "Nan of Music Mountain," "The Squaw-Man's Son" and now "Rimrock Jones," which is said to be one of his best so far. Being a talented musician, as well as a good fellow and even possessing the ability to prepare chafing dish delicacies on the spur of the moment, the Reid bungalow at Hollywood, is one of the most popular spots of that motion picture colony.
