| Hobart Henly has run the gamut of the motion picture industry. An actor
in stock, he joined the old Biograph Company when D. W. Griffith was directing
it. Bits were the best he got at first, and from Biograph Mr. Henly went
to Universal, playing with Mary Pickford, Marshall Neilan. Wallace Reid,
Thomas Ince and many others now prominent in the film world. His work with
Universal was quickly recognized and he soon won stardom. He had also been
writing stories and many of these were accepted for production. An opportunity
to direct one of his own stories, in which he also played, convinced him
that directorial work was his forte. For Goldwyn he directed some of their
greatest stars. He has successfully directed Pauline Frederick, Will Rogers
and Mae Marsh. |
