Who’s Who in the Moving Picture World — Compiled by the Statistical Department

Madison, Cleo. Born in Bloomington, Ill. American parentage. Is five feet four and weighs 135 pounds. Fair complexion, gray eyes, red-brown hair.

Like so many photoplayers, Miss Madison gained her experience in stock, the varied demands of the weekly change of bill giving the necessary versatility. She worked five years on the dramatic stage with Oliver Morosco, James K. Hackett, Virginia Harned, and as the head of her own company.

In 1913 she turned to the photoplay and for some time was with the Universal. She is now at the head of the Cleo Madison Feature Films.

Some of her notable parts have been Hermion, in Damon and Pythias, the leads in Love Victorious, A Soul Enslaved, Her Bitter Cup, The Chalice of Sorrow and Black Orchids.

About her only fad is the collection of rare cameos of the better sort.
