Alma Rubens

ALMA RUBENS, a daughter of the Golden West, was born and educated in San Francisco, Cal. She went to the studios direct from school, appearing for Triangle in "Master of His Home," "Blue Blood" and other well remembered photoplays of those early days. Her rare, exotic type of beauty has gained her wide favor with lovers of photoplays. Her greatest achievement, incidently the greatest work of Frank Borzage, the director, was Fannie Hurst's "Humoresque," which must be rated as one of the finest pictures of all time, and in which she gained a secure foothold on the ladder of screen fame. Miss Rubens is a lover of music. She is also fond of dancing, is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 130 lbs., and has black hair and dark brown eyes.
