Jacqueline Gadsden — Another Glyn Discovery (1925) 🇺🇸

Though she is a native daughter of California and has been appearing in motion pictures since her childhood, it was only recently, when Elinor Glyn’s discerning eye spied her charm, that Jacqueline Gadsden [Jacqueline Gadsdon], whose picture is in the center of the page, began to feel confident of success.

She played child roles in Triangle pictures, leaving the screen for the routine of the three R’s. Upon her return she acted bits and small parts in a number of films.

Tall, slender, golden haired, she possessed the qualifications for the camera spotlight — beauty, poise, personality. But Hollywood displays such a parade of pulchritude that she was only one among hundreds of aspirants and it was not until Elinor Glyn became impressed with her potentialities that she was given a genuine chance, in “His Hour.” She appeared next in “The Wife of the Centaur,” and most recently in The Merry Widow.
