A Lec Francis

A LEC FRANCIS was born in London, England, on December 2nd., and received his education in Uppingham College, England, and at Mt. Mellary Abbey, Ireland, specializing in the study of law. Graduating with honors, Mr. Francis found the practice of law distasteful, and immediately embarked upon a stage career. Then followed a period of army service during which Mr. Francis remained in India for 5 years. After that the stage again beckoned, and he appeared with indifferent success in musical comedy in Africa. Vitagraph then offered him a role in a picture, and from that day to this, Alec Francis has loaned the dignity of his screen portrayals to the silent drama, making thousands of friends in and out of the profession. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 150 lbs., and has gray hair and blue eyes.
