Here is a true American. Born in
4he city named after the discoyerer Of
America, Columbus. Ohio, Julia
Swayne Gordon's father was a de-
scendant from English Indian paren-
tage. her fathers mother being the
daughter Of an Indian chief From her
mother she claims mixture of
French. English and Spanish blood
Miss Gordon was one of the first to
enter pictures when professionals con-
sidered it beneath their dignity TO
pose. Her reward has been ample.
Backed up by years OF stage craft,
studying the tricks of the trade with
stock companies and IN vaudeville. her
appearance on the screen has more
than borne out the expectations OF
her many admirers. In her home life
Miss Gordon is totally unlike the YAM
pire roles she portrays in Vitagraph
productions. She is gracious, affable
and finds more pleasure in homespun
occupations than many do in the light
er things OF life. Miss Gordon. who
plays the convincing character Of
Fanchette in The Daring of Diana, -"
the Vitagraph blue ribbon feature 10
be shown at the Spencer Square today
and Tomorrow, has won her popular
ity through her clever interpretations
in The Juggernaut," The Sins Of the
Mothers" and other productions.
