BEN ALEXANDER

 

From Stars of the Photoplay (1924)

BEN ALEXANDER, although only ten years old, can look back on a career that covers six or seven stage successes and a number of photoplay achievements. He was born in Goldfield, Nevada, and went into vaudeville at a very early age. For several seasons he played on the legitimate stage, where he created the title role in "Penrod," the original Booth Tarkington play. He will be remembered for his fine acting in Griffith's "Hearts of the World." and the famous "Penrod" stories. He has climbed the ladder to the rung where he is recognized as an actor-not merely a type. Blonde hair, blue eyes.
