Antonio Moreno

ANTONIO MORENO was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1888, and received his education in Seville, where his family made their home shortly after his birth, and in New York City where he attended the Catholic Sisters School and the public schools. He has had a broad stage experience, having appeared in support of many noted stars. With the popularity wave hitting motion pictures "Tony" decided to try his hand in that field of endeavor, and found an extra part in a two-reel picture being made in New York City. Following this he played with Mary Pickford and a host of other favorites of that time, finally landing with Vitagraph as a serial star. He is one of the really popular male stars of the screen, possesses a friendly personality, is married and a great dancer. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 165 lbs., and has dark hair and eyes.
