Hong Kong, August 3, 1934,
Born in Cobourg, Ontario, on Nov. 9, 1873, Marie Dressler, who died on July 29, took part in amateur theatricals at the age of five, and went on the stage at 14, there to remain until motion pictures backoned her to fame and fortune. Making her start during the days of the silent pictures, she gained moviedom heights in 1927, and in 1931 won the coveted trophy of the Academy of Motion Pic ture Arts and Sciences for the best acting of the year. A serica of intimate glimpses of the star, from her first photograph stage actress, to her most recent picture as a fili Juminary, are shown in the sim-fashioned strips above.
