Ben Lyon

BEN LYON was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and received his education in Baltimore, where he attended both the Baltimore Park School and the Baltimore City College. He is a gifted young actor, and bids fair to rise to stellar heights through the artistry of his every screen portrayal. In early youth Mr. Lyon displayed marked talent in amateur theatricals, and when the opportunity presented itself for a professional career he was quick to grasp it. He has since won a place for himself in many legitimate stage productions, and made his debut on the silver sheet in an old Edison picture. Since then he has been much in demand as a leading man for many of the most notable screen stars, and has proven himself an actor of great capacity. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 160 lbs., and has dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.
