be the career of Ora Teague, late
of‘ the Anmbassador Hotel; and now in the stock company at Univer- sal City.
Miss Teague, beautiful and eigh- teen, -came to Los Angeles a year ago from Amarillo, Texas, and commem- orated her arrival by no attempt to get into pictures. She hadn’t even thought of it.
A position as waitress in one of the coffee shops at the Ambassador pre- sented itself, and though Miss Teague had studied secretarial work, she took it temporarily in order to chase old
man Wolf from the door.
A few weeks ago, Winifred Eaton
§Reeve, Univei-sal’s eastern scenario editor, dropped into MISS Teague’s
place of business. She was so im- pressed with her beauty and poise that a film test was arranged immediately. Elinor Glyn also had noticed Miss Teague, but before she could act, Mrs. Reeve had whisked her out to Uni- versal City.
When General Manager Raymond L. Schrock saw the test, he agreed with Mrs. Reeve that Miss Teague had decided screen possibilities. Now the spelling of the word has changed from rolls to roles in Miss Teague’s career.
