Betty Howe, Latest Vitagrapher (1916) 🇺🇸
The Vitagraph Company announces it has added the name of Betty Howe to its roster of stock players. Miss Howe is another who comes into filmdom with no stage experience, and the experience of many another who entered the Vitagraph Company under similar conditions justifies the prediction that before long her beauty and attractive personality will win her multitudes of admirers.
Miss Howe belongs to the “petite” class. She is dark, with sparkling brown eyes, a shapely nose and an expressive mouth set in a face of perfect oval. She is animated and vivacious, athletic and slender, and moves with a natural gracefulness so essential to film work.
The new player comes from Tremont, N. Y. Although she admits to eighteen years, she hardly looks sixteen. What little experience she has had was gained in amateur productions at the Quaker boarding school, Chappaqua Mountain Institute. She is a relative of the late Julia Ward Howe.
Miss Howe has always been a lover of drama and has been a close student of the stage. Her quick intelligence and natural grasp of emotional and comic situations are destined to advance her rapidly in filmdom.
Her newest work will be in the company supporting Robert Edeson in a new James Oliver Curwood thriller. She has already appeared with Frank Daniels in some of the one-reel comedies detailing “The Escapades of Mr. Jack,” released by the Vitagraph.
