| Niles Welch was born in Hartford, Conn., and attended St. Paul's School.
Graduating from that institution he went to Yale and Columbia Universities.
After spending four years on the legitimate stage he started his screen
career, appearing with World, Universal, Pathe and Goldwyn. He also played
with Norma Talmadge in that noted star's picture "The Secret of the
Storm Country." Mr. Welch is six feet high, weighs a hundred and sixty-five
pounds, has medium brown hair and blue eyes. He has not lost his prowess
as an athlete of marked ability that he attained in college and can still
serve the white tennis sphere with the velocity of a bullet. |
