Il like motion pictures so well /
don't care if / never appear on a
speaking stage again" This is what
Charles Richman said when asked his
opinion about the artistic scope OF the
screen. And this, in face Of the fact
that he was one of the best known
leading men and matinee idols on the
legitimate stage.
Richman's first big parts came as
leading man with A. NJ. Planners stock
company, where his versatility, to-
gether with his natural talents, at
tracted the attention of Augustin Daily,
who signed him for an engagement as
leading man in his famous stock COM
pany to play opposite Ada Rehan.
Mr.. Richman then played in America
at Days theatre and in London.
Then followed engagements as lead
ing man with such well known theatre
cal stars as Annie Russell, Mrs. Lang
try, Mary Mannering and Blanche
Bates.
When Mr.. Richman was first asked
to appear in motion pictures he was
skeptical. His initial experience, how
ever, dispelled all doubts, and made
him a convert to the cameras lure.
When Mr.. Richman became a member
of the Vitagraph Stock Players he had
thorough knowledge of technical re-
quirements. The pictures in which he
has starred under the VitagTaph ban
ner include Heights of Hazard, J." The
Battle Cry Of Peace" Hero OF Sub
marine De-" etc.
