James Woods Morrison

JAMES WOODS MORRISON was born at Mattoon, Ill., and after a liberal arts education at the University of Chicago, entered upon a stock and vaudeville career which led him straight to Vitagraph, where he started his screen career. He first came into prominence with that company when he was starred for two years in a series of productions with Dorothy Kelley. His screen work was interrupted when he enlisted for the World War, but, after his discharge, he returned to find that his public had not forgotten him. Though a great reader, "Jimmy" finds much time for outdoor sports of which tennis and motoring predominate. He is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 135 lbs., and has brown hair and blue eyes.
