James Young (director)
James Young (January 1, 1872 – June 9, 1948) was an American film director, actor and screenwriter of the silent era.
Before films Young had a successful career as a stage actor appearing on Broadway and throughout the country, and was the author of a notable 1905 book on theatrical makeup.
His first wife was librettist Rida Johnson Young who often composed with Victor Herbert.
Turning to silent films he directed 93 films between 1912 and 1928.
He also appeared as an actor in 62 films between 1909 and 1917.
He was born in Baltimore, Maryland and died in New York, New York.
His second wife was film actress Clara Kimball Young, 18 years his junior, who kept his surname after they divorced.
My Official Wife (1914 film)
My Official Wife is a 1914 American silent film directed by James Young and starring Clara Kimball Young, Harry T. Morey and Rose E. Tapley.
Clara Kimball Young later estimated she had appeared in more than 100 films before "My Official Wife", but this was the film that launched her as a star.
When "Motion Picture Magazine" conducted a popularity contest in 1914, Earle Williams finished first and Young came in second.
(Mary Pickford came in third).
Young credited Vitagraph founder J. Stuart Blackton's supervision as responsible for the success of her emotional portrayal in the film.
But now a hot commodity, Young soon signed with Lewis J. Selznick.
Based on its prior success, Vitagraph re-issued the film in late 1916.
Speculation once abounded that Leon Trotsky appeared in the film as an extra, based in part on a shot of Young with a bearded man with a resemblance to the man.
Though this claim started appearing as early as 1918 and was vouched for by actors in the film, and was often repeated, the story was always specious and has been discredited.
Trotsky was not in the United States in 1914, and he denied reports made during his life about alleged film appearances.
The film also possibly had a young Rudolf Valentino as an uncredited extra, though this claim cannot be verified, as Vitagraph Studios head Albert E. Smith made a number of claims that later caused skepticism.
Though the full movie is now lost, two short clips were compiled in the 1931 Vitaphone short "The Movie Album" and still survive.
One of the clips includes "Trotsky", which was played up in the press promotion for the release.
