Belle Adair — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Belle Adair, now playing leads in Eclair productions, has won many friends in the few months she has been in films.

Formerly Miss Adair had been a vaudeville “headliner,” stock company favorite, and played a prominent part with Julian Eltinge in The Fascinating Widow.

Beautiful, and possessed of a charming personality, Belle Adair’s future in screen-plays is bright indeed. She appears equally well in roles calling for society, underworld or athletic characterizations, can compete with men in riding, swimming, boxing, and running, while as a conversationalist she is most interesting.

Miss Adair, though educated in Pennsylvania, is a keen New Yorker, and confesses to twenty-three years (concealing none).

Although very successful on the legitimate stage, the photoplay appealed to her and she has taken up her work with an earnestness that predicts certain popularity and success.
