Johnny Walker

JOHNNY WALKER was born in New York City, 27 years ago, or in 1898, and received his education in the local public schools, later paying his way through Fordham University by spending the summer months playing in stock. He is a veteran of the screen, having launched his motion picture career in the old Biograph Studio. He then worked in the Edison Studios, playing leads for Edison stars of the day, including Viola Dana. The World War interrupted Johnnie's screen career, though immediately after the cessation of the hostilities he again began his screen activities, this time becoming a director. William Fox selected him for a leading role in "Over the Hill," and later he was starred. He has also been a film salesman, is an athlete of distinction, and is 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighs 160 lbs., and has black hair and brown eyes.
