Born in rural Ohio in 1897, Beryl Halley was educated at a strict
Freewill Baptist school. After briefly teaching in a one-room
schoolhouse, she joined the navy in 1918 before her unlikely path
led her to Broadway, then to the Ziegfeld Follies (1923-1925). She
also appeared in Earl Carroll's Vanities and other revues, as well
as in films, and had a widely publicized brush with the law in
1926. She retired from show business in 1930, married an insurance
executive and had a family, later reappearing in the public eye as
an officer in the Ziegfeld Girls' Club. Making her home in Houston
in the 1950s, she worked as legal secretary for a large law firm.
Her death at age 90 was unpublicized. Her story is told here for
the first time.
