He came to America with his company and toured the United States and Canada. A film company screened his Dickens" repertoire. Mr. Terriss then answered the call of the movies, began to direct for Vitagraph and became widely known as the director of big special productions. His two latest are "Trumpet Island," from the well-known novel by Gouverneur Morris, and W. E. Hornung's "Dead Men Tell No Tales."
