Estelle Clark — The Five Thousandth (1925) 🇺🇸

The title of “the five thousandth” was fastened upon Estelle Clark by Robert Mclntyre, casting director, whose favorite line is that “one out of every five thousand extra girls makes good.”

For two years Estelle has been more or less — mostly less — in evidence in the mob ranks. A clever bit of work in “So This Is Marriage” attracted attention and won her a long-term contract with Metro-Goldwyn. She was carefully schooled in small rôles in “Sinners in Silk,” “The Snob,” and as a colored maid in “Excuse Me,” and her acting in Hobart Henley’s “Nothing to Wear,” recently completed, proved so satisfactory that she has been intrusted with a still better opportunity in “The Rebellious Girl,” which is being filmed from Rupert Hughes’ story.

Her talent lies along the lines of comedy, and she is a very decorative young person; so, in view of the scarcity of feminine humor, it is planned to develop her into a comedienne, probably of the Constance Talmadge order.

She was born in Warsaw, Poland, but was educated in America and made her theatrical debut as a member of the beauty chorus of The Greenwich Village Follies.
