Voltaire Enjoys Himself

George Arliss, the great stage actor, who only appears in films as a very old man, had a great time in this film from the looks of it. Voltaire was done by Warner Brothers in 1933, and Arliss works to save a young woman played by Margaret Lindsay, see the last image, whose father has been executed for treason. In truth, her father was victim of a plot to condemn him in order that his estate could be seized by a greedy aristocrat who is manipulating King Louis XV. Fortunately, Voltaire is friends with Madame De Pompadour played by Doris Kenyon, see the top image, who wants to help. Of course, it’s Hollywood and not history, but Hollywood doing a good job. Orry-Kelly did the gowns and the men wear all the wigs and lace you would expect of courtiers in the 18th Century. The story is good and you will end up rooting for justice and Voltaire.

Doris Kenyon: Close to Home

Doris Kenyon: Close to Home

We have all sorts of reasons to be interested in stage and screen star Doris Kenyon (Doris Margaret Kenyon, 1897-1979). One is that singer/actress Doris Day was named after her (her mother was a fan). The other (interesting probably only to me and a few others!) is that her ancestral roots are in my hometown and that my second cousins (also named Kenyon) are related to her, descended from the…

[silent-era-of-cinema]

Doris Margaret Kenyon (September 5, 1897 – September 1, 1979) was an American actress of motion pictures and television.

She grew up in Syracuse, New York, where her family had a home at 1805 Harrison Street. Her father, Dr. James B. Kenyon, was a Methodist Episcopal Church minister at University Church. Kenyon studied at Packer College Institute and later at Columbia University. She sang in the choirs of Grace Presbyterian and Bushwick Methodist Churches in Brooklyn, New York.

Her voice attracted the attention of Broadway theatrical scouts who enticed her to become a performer on the stage. In 1915, she first appeared as a chorus girl in the Victor Herbert operetta The Princess Pat.

In 1915, she made her first film, The Rack, with World Film Company of Fort Lee, New Jersey. One of the most remembered films of her early career is Monsieur Beaucaire (1924). In this production, she starred opposite Rudolph Valentino. She and her husband, Milton Sills, starred in The Unguarded Hour for First National Pictures (1925). Laura Wood, a star swimmer and wife of Gaylord Wood, First National Pictures cinematographer, doubled for her swimming scenes because she couldn't swim.

Kenyon's first sound film was The Home Towners (1928). She also starred in Paramount Pictures' first talking film, Interference (1928).

Kenyon was cast opposite actor George Arliss in two films: Alexander Hamilton (1931) and Voltaire (1933). She participated in Counsellor at Law (1933) with John Barrymore. In the autumn of 1935, Doris appeared with Ramon Novarro in the play A Royal Miscarriage in London.

Kenyon's film career ended with a cameo in The Man in the Iron Mask (1939).

Kenyon's performances as a singer grew out of an evening in New York when a manager of concert artists heard her sing at home for some friends. Afterward, he worked with her to arrange a tour. Singing eventually became an outlet for expressing her feelings after her first husband's death. A soprano, she performed in Detroit as part of the Town Hall Series and in Phoenix as part of the All-Star Artists Series, among others.

Kenyon's concerts featured more than vocal performances. Her "Lyrical Silhouettes" tour in 1933 included "characterizations presented in a half-dozen or more foreign languages and dialects." A variety of costumes supplemented the music in the program's segments.

Kenyon played Ann Cooper in the soap opera Crossroads on NBC in the 1940s.

Kenyon continued her acting career in television in the 1950s. She was cast in episodes of The Secret Storm (1954), Schlitz Playhouse of Stars and 77 Sunset Strip.

Kenyon was married four times.

Her first husband was the actor Milton Sills. She wed Sills on October 12, 1926. She was widowed in 1930. She had one son with Sills named Kenyon.

She married prosperous New York real estate broker Arthur Hopkins in 1933. The two divorced the following year, citing incompatibility.

In 1938 Doris married Albert D. Lasker, owner of Lord & Thomas, a prosperous advertising agency. They divorced in 1939.

Her final marriage was to musician Bronislaw Mlynarski in 1947. He was the son of composer Emil Młynarski and the brother-in-law of Arthur Rubinstein.

Doris Kenyon died in 1979 at her home in Beverly Hills, California of cardiac arrest, four days before her 82nd birthday.

n 1922 a newborn girl, Doris Kappelhoff, was named after Kenyon. Kappelhoff grew up to be singer and actress Doris Day. Many years later, Day purchased a home in Beverly Hills that was "a few houses away from [Kenyon's], on the very same street."
