Doris Kenyon

DORIS KENYON was born in Syracuse, New York, on September 5th., 1897, and received her education in Packer College Institute, and at Columbia University. She is the daughter of a Methodist minister and writer, and is known as a writer of considerable ability herself. Miss Kenyon made her first professional appearance in Victor Herbet's operetta "Princess Pat," having been recruited for the chorus of this production from a church choir. She is possessed of a most engaging personality, and following her debut in motion pictures with the Essanay Company, she quickly won a secure place in the affections of thousands of "fans." Miss Kenyon is an expert horsewoman, drives her car, and is a great student, reading and writing considerably. She is 5 feet 6 inches in height, weighs 125 lbs., and has brown hair and gray eyes.
