IT'S a long way from Denver, Colo., to the Ziegfeld Follies, and then
finally to California in the midst of filmdom. But that's just the journey
that Rubye de Remer took.
She was born in Denver and went to school there. But the young lady determined
at an early age upon a stage career. She started in the Follies when she
first came to New York. Her beauty and coloring lent itself to the stage
and she soon graduated to the Midnite Frolic. From there she joined Weber
and Fields as prima donna of that show.
In 1917 when Rex Beach decided to make a special feature from his novel,
"The Auction Block," he took Miss de Remer from a Broadway show
and cast her as the leading lady. It was a role heavy with dramatic action
and Miss de Remer made a success of it, thereby establishing herself and
winning recognition in the ranks of filmland.
Many of Miss de Remer's first films were made in the East, but after
her name had become known from Coast to Coast as not only one of the screen's
most beautiful but most capable leading women, producers sent East for her
services and brought her to California where pictures thrive. But she wants
to remain in New York the greater part of her time in order to be near her
first love, the stage.
Her latest production was made for Hodkinson under the title of "The
Unconquered Woman." At present she is with the Famous Players-Lasky
organization at their Long Island studio, New York.
Miss de Remer's hobbies are German police dogs and traveling. She spends
most of her time when off-stage or screen in traveling and she is a frequent
visitor at the famous Southern resorts. She has been to Europe several times
as well as "seeing America first."
She has gold blonde hair and blue eyes with a fair skin to match. She
stands five feet, four inches tall and weighs 118 pounds. |
