His silent films were more diverse in genre, among which included social dramas, comedies, Westerns, farces, morality plays, and historical pageants.
DeMille began his career as a stage actor in 1900.
He later moved to writing and directing stage productions, some with Jesse Lasky, who was then a vaudeville producer.
DeMille's first film, "The Squaw Man" (1914), was also the first feature film shot in Hollywood.

The continued success of his productions led to the founding of Paramount Pictures with Lasky and Adolph Zukor.
His first biblical epic, "The Ten Commandments" (1923), was both a critical and commercial success; it held the Paramount revenue record for twenty-five years.
DeMille directed "The King of Kings" (1927), a biography of Jesus, which gained approval for its sensitivity and reached more than 800 million viewers. "
The Sign of the Cross" (1932) is said to be the first sound film to integrate all aspects of cinematic technique.
