Elliott Dexter

ELLIOTT DEXTER was born in Galveston, Texas, on December 21st., and early evinced an interest in the ministry. As a youth he lived in Washington, D. C., where he attended school, graduated with honors. After a time he tried to enter upon a theatrical career but found it impossible to secure an engagement in Washington. This brought him to New York where he obtained a place with a stock company. Then came a tour with his own company and finally real success in New York. He made his screen debut in support of Lillian Gish and has since lived in Hollywood, being constantly in demand as a screen star. Mr. Dexter is married and spends much time in his home where he exhibits great skill as a landscape gardner. He has a kennel of Police Dogs which he raised. He is 5 feet 9 inches in height, weighs 160 lbs., and has dark hair and eyes. CHARLES "BUCK" JONES was born in Vincennes, Indiana, and received his education in the schools of Indianapolis in the same state. Like his fellow riding star, Tom Mix, he spent his youth riding the range, having become a cowboy after finishing his schooling. He has created a place for himself on the screen because of his convincing cowboy characterizations. Mr. Jones is of the virile type of young manhood, rides, drives, swims, and plays baseball with more than usual skill. Prior to his debut on the screen he had no theatrical experience, coming to the Fox Studio fresh from the range. He has always been known as a hard worker, being ever ready to undertake some dare-devil riding stunt to lend realism to his pictures. He is married and has a splendid home in Los Angeles. He is 5 feet 11 1/2 inches tall, weighs 173 lbs., and has brown hair and gray eyes.
