He already appeared in 1914 in first movies like "The Perils of Pauline" (14) and "Beating Back" (14), other small appearances followed without naming him in the credits.

In 1917 he made his Broadway debut and it followed many appearances in the following years. His greatest success was the play "The Mountain Main" (21) which made him a star.

Only at the end of the 20's he was able to launch a successful film career with "A Most Immoral Lady" (29) and "The Love Racket" (29).
