A dazzling, golden girl — that is Margaret Quimby.

She danced in cafés and in the George White “Scandals” before she came to the movies.

Thousands have done that before, you say, but then it happens that Miss Quimby is utterly different. Her personality doesn’t need a stage spotlight to draw attention to her. One is certain to notice her, whether it be at the Sixty Club, Cocoanut Grove, or under the unflattering blue lights of the film set. She is a ravishingly beautiful blonde type.

A Terpsichore was wanted when she was engaged for a series of Jack Dempsey two-reelers, which marked her debut on the screen. She later played with Reginald Denny in What Happened to Jones?, and also in The Whole Town’s Talking, with Edward Everett Horton and Virginia Lee Corbin.

Grace of movement, well suited to work before the camera, is just a natural outcropping of her training, which has all been along the line of dancing and athletics.
