GREATER than the fact that she is a capable actress was that of serving
her country during the great World War. Claire Adams was born in Winnipeg,
Canada, and there she received her education at a private school for girls.
Later she was sent to a finishing school in England.
During her schooling, dramatics took most of her time, and success in
amateur theatricals gave her the desire to continue her career. But when
war was declared she put aside her dreams of a stage career and devoted
her time to the service.
After the armistice was signed, Miss Adams planned to continue her dramatic
training, but the lure of the silent drama brought her to California, where
she made her debut on the screen in features.
That was in 1919. Her first picture experience was in a propaganda picture
titled "The Spirit of the Red Cross." Miss Adams became a star
of B. B. Hampton productions and made a series of successful films.
For Goldwyn, Miss Adams played in "The Great Lover" and "The
Penalty."
Recently Miss Adams has been playing leads opposite prominent male stars,
such as William Farnum, Herbert Rawlinson, Tom Mix and others. With Mr.
Mix she worked in the feature "Tony." Mix declares that she is
one of the best and most fearless horsewomen he has ever met.
Miss Adams is fond of all animals, but horses are her choice. She has
a lovely singing voice. She has brown eyes and black hair. Her height is
five feet four inches and she weighs 125 pounds. Her home is in Hollywood. |
