We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Wyndham Standing's histrionic ancestry entitles him to be listed in the theatrical peerage; and as a matter of fact his distinguished brother. Sir Guy, is a Knight.
SOME men are born actors, some achieve acting and some have acting thrust upon them. If the theatrical "Who's Who" is any guide, Wyndham Standing is the result of all three. But mostly he was born one. For, if ever an actor came into this world with his lines in his mouth, as it were, and his make-up on his face, that actor was Wyndham, the son of Herbert Standing, the brother of Sir Guy Standing, cousin of William Carleton and god-son of Sir Charles W^yndham.
Not a chance had he at escaping the footlights. He couldn't be anything but an actor any more than he could look like anything but an Englishman, although he is a naturalized American now and very proud of his newly acquired "papers."
Photoplay found him in his "chambers" in the upper West eighties. The mere fact that he is in it, makes a New York apartment look like "Chambers"— he is as English as that.
He had just finished his part with Constance Talmadge in "A Temperamental Wife." Standing supported the brunette sister, Norma, in "By Right of Conquest," one of her more recent vehicles. For Thomas" Ince, he served in "The Bugle Call" with William Collier, Jr. With Elsie Ferguson he was in "Rose of the World;" with Pauline Frederick in "Paid In Full." Tourneur recruited him for "My Lady's Garter."
He is thirty-nine years old; married to an English wife.
