Doris Kenyon, the blonde, the beautiful and the brainy The Girl on the Cover By Cal York NOT so long ago Doris Kenvon plaved a film called "The Half Way Girl/' which, while it may have been proof of her artistry, was rather unfair to her real personality. For there's no more all around girl in pictures than this beautiful First National star. Beauty of face, beauty of form, beauty of mind. Doris has all of them. She is an accomplished actress, a skilled poet, an acknowledged prima donna, and a very regular human being. And the amazing part of it all is that she was born in an humble little parsonage in Syracuse. New York, the daughter of a Methodist minister. Stellar material is seldom found in parsonages, all the romantic fiction to the contrary, but rarer still is a religious father who understands his daughter's desire to go on the stage. The bond between Doris and the Rev. James B. Kenyon, however, is very strong. They are friends as well as father and child. Now the two write poetry together — they have published a book "Spring Flowers and Rowen," which they wrote in collaboration — and in the earlier days Doris, singing in the church choir, would look respectfully and happily across at her father in the pulpit. Being so beautiful, she was rather automatically headed for recognition, but Dr. Kenyon had a theory that a well trained mind might help, too. So Doris went to Packer Institute and then to Barnard College and it wasn't until she had completed her education that she was permitted to go on with her chosen career from the vantage point of an important part in Victor Herbert's musical comedy, "Princess Pat." Movies, at that time, were at the stage where any girl gifted, both with youth and beauty, had only to stick her head into a studio and get a part. Doris went visiting the old Essanay studio one day and immediately the films made her their own. Her first opportunity came in a George Beban film, "The Pawn of Fate,'' but such a lucky break didn't impress Doris particularly. The stage was her real love. She plaved in "The White Villa," "The Love Chef" and other pieces on Broadway and only in between seasons did she go back to the movies, working where her fancy took her, at Famous Players, Yitagraph, the Old World organization and Pathe, being leading woman for numerous stars from Tommy Meighan to Valentino. Her last speaking stage venture was "The Girl in the Limousine," a farce made delightful by her presence. Now Doris is under a long term contract to First National.
