Wanted to achieve success in some Way and family financial reverses made it imperative that she go to work in some capacity. She never found “extra” work extremely dis- tasteful, because she saw in every 8 work some little way in which she could bring, herself more and more to the attention of directors. Finally, Universal put her in one reel comedy leads, then two reel westerns and eventually Into lead- ing roles of five reel features. Her last leading role was with Reginald Denny in “Sporting Youth” and fol- lowing this she-was made a star. | 1 There was nothing sudden about it—she simply worked consistently for three yedrs, had talent and beauty, and learned to take advan- tage of every twist of fate, espe- cially in many fof the Hoot Gibson productions.
