Ben Alexander

BEN ALEXANDER was born in Goldfield, Nevada, in 1910, and received his education in Los Angeles and from private tutors. He began his professional career by playing the name part in "Penrod" on the speaking stage. Then D. W. Griffith cast him for a role in "Hearts of the World," and young Mr. Alexander was started on the road to screen fame. He has since won a host of "fan" friends by the splendid talents he displays every time he makes a screen appearance. In "Turn to the Right" this youthful star created a distinct hit by his clever interpretation. He is a clean-cut youth, takes a regular boy's delight in all things that interest and delight boys, and is a popular favorite among his "gang," not so much because of his position in the screen world, but because he is listed as a "regular fellow." He is 4 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 80 lbs., and has blond hair and blue eyes.
