Enid Bennett — Blue Book of the Screen (1923) 🇺🇸

Enid Bennett was born in York, Western Australia, January 22, 1896. She was educated in her native land and went on the stage in Sydney, playing small parts.

She became popular and was given more important roles, including that of Modesty in Everywoman, also in The Fortune Hunter, Broadway Jones and others. She then came to the United States.

Miss Bennett did not meet with success immediately following her arrival in America. She spent several months looking for work, but her services were not in demand. Finally, Otis Skinner, who was preparing to produce Cock of the Walk in New York, gave her a chance. She got a part in this play because of her English accent.

While still in this play Thomas H. Ince obtained her signature to a long-term motion-picture contract, and she has been on the screen almost continuously ever since.

She is five feet three inches tall, weighs 120 pounds, has hazel eyes and blonde hair. Her husband is Fred Niblo of directorial fame. They have a baby daughter. Her 19-year-old sister, Catherine, is completing her first year on the screen.

The Niblo home is in Hollywood.
