Allene Ray
Toronto Daily Star, January 20 1927
Allene Ray (1901-1979) was midway through her film career at the time this photograph was taken. She was used to doing her own stunts and had already mastered horseback riding, so working with a Hawaiian outrigger was well within her skill set.
Her last movie was in 1931, after which she seems to have led an ordinary civilian life, working as a seamstress and fitter and then becoming a real estate broker. She married film producer Larry Wheeler in 1925; they stayed together until he passed away in 1958.
