Baby Helen Armstrong — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Baby Helen Armstrong is known and loved by every youngster who sees her on the screen.

Whether dressed in royal robes and enacting the role of an infant king, as she did in “For the Crown,” or whether dressed in rags and tatters, playing the part of a little street waif, as she has so often done, Baby Helen is always winsome.

She is one child prodigy who acts almost without direction, for little Miss Armstrong appears to be a born actress and, once she has been explained to her the sort of character she is to play, she instantly adopts manners and expressions suitable to the role.

Directors never have to caution her not to stare at the camera when she is appearing in the films for Baby Helen is as unconscious of the fact that she is being photographed as though she were miles away from the busily important camera-man.

American dramas are the pictures to look for if you would see a clever youngster.
