From Wikipedia Marion Aye (April 5, 1903 – July 21, 1951) was an American actress of screen and stage who starred in several films during the 1920s, mostly comedies. She is sometimes credited as Maryon Aye. Born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of James H. Aye, she was "discovered" by legendary moviemaker Mack Sennett. She was selected as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1922. She was a capable dancer, a talent she exhibited in several films. She also appeared in eighteen western shorts opposite Bob Reeves.
