Marie Morehouse — Fame at 16 Months (1921) 🇺🇸

Marie Morehouse is only sixteen months old — but already she has money in the bank which she earned herself. Marie, one of our better-known screen actresses, began her career at the age of three months, and after thirteen months not only has an enviable bank roll, but is famous in her profession.

Marie was the baby in “The Old Nest,” Rupert Hughes’ story produced by Goldwyn [Samuel Goldwyn], in which Mary Alden has scored such a success as the mother. She also went on location to Big Bear with the “Ace of Hearts” company when only about a year old.

A native daughter of the sunny Southland, this smallest of all the stars that twinkle on the silver sheet, is a dancer, swimmer and singer, and more than all that, can stand on her head. According to Marie, the way to keep young is to have plenty of naps and drink lots of milk. She expects to star until she has reached the mature age of 5, when she will take a vacation in some exclusive kindergarten of the city.

Later, she says, she expects to go to take up domestic science, after which she’ll be ready to marry, preferably a policeman.
