Picture Show Annual 113 Partly Irish, Partly Italian C ORINNE Griffith is acknowledged every- where to be one of the most beautiful actresses on the screen, but probably there are few who know that, unlike most film stars. Miss Griffith finds it extremely easy to maintain her rare charm, and seldom does she engage in any special exercise for the benefit of her health or physique. Miss Griffith’s weight has not varied more than three pounds in the last seven years. Her beauty certainly obtained for Corinne her start in the screen world, but she could not have kept her position there had she not had other qualifications. Miss Griffith has an attrac- tive personality, exceptional dramatic qualities, possesses unusual poise and a depth of under- standing of any situation. She has a wonderful knowledge of dress, and knows exactly what frocks and hats will suit her. It is not very surprising that Corinne is so gifted and has such a charming personality when one considers her antecedents, for she is partly Irish and partly Italian. Although she herself was born in Texarkana, Texas, her mother was an Italian and her father was half Irish. Corinne Griffith has light brown hair.' blue eyes, and is five feet four inches in height. cA Real Western Star H arry Carey, one of the most delightful cowboys of the screen, insists on being a real Western, and not a motion-picture representation of a cowboy. He absolutely refuses to wear flapping chaps and fancy shirts ! Harry Carey was to be a lawyer, not an actor ; but while he was still at college he happened to appear in a little amateur play, and he always declares that the first moment he felt the grease paint on his face he knew he was destined to become an actor. He made his intentions known, and the usual battle ensued between the disappointed father and the determined son. The son won, with the result that Harry soon became a member of a stock company. .After that he joined an opera company, in which he played comedy roles. Later he became a member of the original Biograph Company. He stayed with this company until D. W. Griffith left, then he went to Universal, with which company he remained for a number of years. Harry Carey has his own ranch, and his interest is divided between this and he motion-picture work. H
