VELMA WHITMAN. Born in Richmond, Va. Like so many photo players who have been instrumental in making film productions notable, Miss Whitman had a thorough course of training in the legitimate before taking up the silent drama. For some time Miss Whitman was associated with Corse Payton in stock, and it was whilst associated with this well-known producer that she fell under the notice of the distinguished playwright and actor, Henry Miller. As a result Mr. Miller featured Miss Whitman for a season in "The Servant in the House." Miss Whitman has been in the moving picture work over a year, during which time she has been at the head of the Lubin Western Branch. Versatility is one of her strong points; she may be a Western girl one week, a Mexican senorita the next, then an Indian maid or a society girl. A few of her recent successes are her leads in "Lure of the Car Wheels," "Crooked Path," "In Old Japan." Address: Lubin Studio, Pasadena Ave., Los Angeles, Cal. Eighty-eight
