| J. Parker Read, Jr., was inspired to enter the silent drama by a visit he
paid to the Fourteenth Street Theatre, New York, some years ago. Surprised
at the incoherent plots of the one-reelers on view in those days, Mr. Read
wrote a scenario which was immediately accepted by the Edison Company. A
short time ago Mr. Read got his big opportunity and entered the independent
producing field with Louise Glaum as his star. Today J. Parker Read, Jr.,
is a member of Associated Producers and it is his intention to make his
contribution to the silent drama in the form of twelve huge productions
a year, included in which will be two all-star specials of unusual dramatic
purport. |
