The point almost has been reached where, as a newcomer achieves success on the screen, you are inclined to ask: “What part of Texas is she from?”

The Lone-star State has given many stars to filmdom and each year seems to offer more. Now comes Kathleen Collins of San Antonio, just placed under contract by Hal Roach and made a member of his sextette of screen beauties.

Miss Collins won the Thomas H. Ince national beauty contest a little less than two years ago and was given rôles of some importance in several of his productions. She then played leads in eighteen Western features with Guinn “Big Boy” Williams and was with him in the recent production, “Black Cyclone,” starring Rex, the king of wild horses.

Now she is a permanent bit of talent at the Hal Roach lot and will be seen in comedy rôles, principally with Glenn Tryon.

Miss Collins was born in San Antonio, educated there in the city schools and in Bon Avon academy.
