| CHARLES RAY, as a lad, had aspirations for circus and stage life. He became
acquainted with Sam De Grasse, from whom he received much encouragement.
After a few years of "hits" in stock and road vaudeville, he had
a chance in motion pictures--as an extra. Thomas H. Ince liked his work
and placed him in the studio company, and before long Ray's characterizations
made his roles win distinct popularity for him. He appeared in "The
Courtship of Miles Standish." Born in Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1891.
Educated at Illinois and Los Angeles. He is married. |
