A VIRGINIA GIRL,
AND FIGHTER.
TOO

In tracing achievement back to
its origin it invariably develops
that the golden strain figures
prominently in the lives Of men
and women who do things.
Take the case of Olive Borden,
one Of the most beautiful girls
the State of Virginia has yet pro-
duced, now under contract to Fox
Films. Behind it all is family.
They were fighters-and blood will
tell.
Miss Borden, battling in Holly
wood for nearly four years, was
little different from her English
Irish ancestors, who overcame
seemingly insurmountable obsta-
cles, to achieve place and power.
On her mothers side, Miss Bor-
den is typically Irish. The Shields
family, one Of the best known in
Dublin, had many brave sons.
Some of these came to America
to fight. Others remained in the
old country--for the same pur-
pose.
During the Civil War, when
Abraham Lincoln was casting
about for strong men to bear the
standards Of the Union, the Shields
name won renown-in council and
in battle. Joseph Shields, a man
known for his chivalry and cour-
age, took up the gage Of battle.
fought for the Nation he claimed
as his own, and won the rank Of
general. He was a brother of
Mrs. Sibbie Borden's grandfather
and is referred to in history as
"a friend of Abraham Lincoln
and a brave Irish soldier" He
was hot on the trail of Jackson
in the Valley OF Luray and in
the Blue Ridge ranges.
This same fighting blood char
acteriZes Miss Borden's father,
who attended West Point.
But such is the way Of those OF
the strain that is called Golden.
Olive is also a fighter. or else
four years of film obscurity would
have amply discouraged her.
