| Robertson-Cole boasts William Christy Cabanne as a headliner of its staff
of directors. Born in St. Louis in 1888, Mr. Cabanne received his education
at St. Rose's Academy and at Colver Military Academy following which he
joined the navy. From 1908 to 1910 he played before the footlights but switched
over to the screen, directing Douglas Fairbanks' first picture for Fine
Arts, "Double Trouble.'' He also directed "Reggie Mixes In."
He became chief of staff for D. W. Griffith and stayed with him for five
years directing "One of Mammy," "The Slacker," "Draft
258," and "The Great Secret" in the years that followed.
"Fighting Through" and "A Regular Fellow" were produced
under his capable direction its well as Goldwyn's "The Pest."
"The Beloved Cheater" a recent Robertson-Cole production, is the
work of Mr. Cabanne. |
