ABOUT BETTY COMPSON: Betty Compson started in vaudeville sketches with touring circuits. She was noticed by Hollywood producers andwas discovered by comedic producer Al Christie with whom she signed a contract with him. Her first silent film, "Wanted, a Leading Lady", was in November 1915. Betty Compson subsequently made 25 films in 1916 alone, although all of them were shorts for Al Christie with the exception of one feature entitled "Almost a Widow". She continued this pace of making numerous short films well into the middle of 1918, when after a long apprenticeship with Mr. Christie she started making features exclusively. Betty Compson began to rise as a star with the release of the 1919 feature The Miracle Man (1919) for George Loane Tucker. Paramount signed Compson to a five-year contract with the help of Geroge Loane Tucker.ABOUT DONALD BIDDLE KEYES: By 1922 the Hollywood film industry had a few veteran publicists and photographers, one of whom was Donald Biddle Keyes.
