| MABEL BALLIN went on the stage when she was only three and a half years
old. But she gave up her stage work to devote herself to painting, which
she studied both in Philadelphia and New York. Her landscapes were exhibited
and drew much favorable comment. Then came the call to the screen. Her first
appearance was with Marguerite Clark in "The Valentine Girl."
Later she was starred in a number of pictures which her husband, Hugo Ballin,
was producing. She was born in Philadelphia. She is five feet, three inches
tall, weighs 120 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. |
