Violet Horner — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Violet Horner is the “little Melba” of motion pictures, and before joining the Imp company, was soloist in several Brooklyn churches.

Her work in pictures dates back fifteen months when she was placed on the Imp’s “extra” list. A try-out made her a “regular” and it was not long before she was playing leads.

Her success in pictures Miss Horner attributes to her interest in her profession. She is especially fond of drama and makes no secret of the fact that she dislikes to play comedy roles, though no one would guess this, judging from the equally fine work she has done in both lines.

Somehow, the name “Violet Horner” seems just to fit the type of girl Miss Horner is. She is blonde and pretty with fair skin and large, active eyes and is fond of swimming, golf and motoring, the last-named being her latest leisure-time occupation. And she dearly loves art.
