Conway Tearle

CONWAY TEARLE was born in New York City, in 1880, and received his education in the public schools of that city, and at Amherst College. He originally intended to become a lawyer, putting the result of his studies into actual practice by appearing in court in the capacity of counsel. In 1910 he harkened to the call of the stage and appeared in minor roles. Gradually he gained recognition, and finally was cast as leading man for such stars as Grace George and Billie Burke. It was as leading man for tiny Marguerite Clark that the popular Mr. Tearle attracted screen "fans'" attention. Ever since he has held a commanding position on the screen, being often starred, and playing opposite many screen celebrities. He is married, plays tennis well, swims, is 5 feet 10 1/2 inches tall, weighs 163 lbs., and has dark brown hair and brown eyes.
