| JIMMIE ADAMS was born in Paterson, New Jersey, on October 4th, 1895, and
educated in that city. Mr. Adams, though now known as one of the foremost
screen comedians, began his professional career as a choir boy. With experience
gained in this way he branched out into concert work and then became a headliner
in vaudeville. Finally the lure of the films proved too great, and Jimmie
made his appearance in the "Sunshine Comedies" made by the William
Fox Company. Mr. Adams is a student of screen art and has recently scored
a big personal hit appearing in Christie Comedies made up in blackface.
He is an enthusiastic golfer and has beaten many of his brother players
in a round on the Hollywood links. He is 5 feet 8 inches in height, weighs
145 lbs., and has brown hair and brown eyes. |
