Louise Orth (1916) 🇺🇸

You have noticed the blonde beauty of the L-KO Komedies — the girl whose hair looks like spun yellow silk?

Well, that is Louise Orth, and her complexion, which cannot be appreciated on the screen, is of the true peaches and cream variety, which ought always to accompany golden hair and so seldom does.

“Denver, Colo., is my birth-place,” says Miss Orth, “and I’m not going to tell you the year of my birth — I’m quite grown up, and I’m married! That’s a very damaging admission, but I’m too happy to keep it a secret.

“I studied for years at the Ainshaw Conservatory and then I went to New York to seek my fortune. I found it with Blanche Ring, who was playing The Yankee Girl. I was engaged as her understudy and I got a chance one day at a matinee, and made good. Later I played second lead in The Fascinating Widow, with Julian Eltinge. I was so impressed with moving pictures that I determined to try them, but after I had played in them for two months, Mr. Eltinge’s manager requested the company to release me for two weeks so that I could resume my old part in order that they might open on time. They had tried five or six in my part without success. Wasn’t that a nice compliment?

“Pictures are better than the stage, just the same, and I intended to stick to them as long as they stick to me.”

There seems no immediate danger of Miss Orth’s deserting the screen, in that case!
