Who's Who on the Screen ROBERT ELLIS The happy combination of actor-director has been bequeathed upon but few men now directing motion pictures. Mr. Ellis, Selznick director, though a splendid actor, has quit his work before the camera in order to direct others. Born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and educated in St. Francis Xavier College, located in New York City, he started upon a theatrical career under the management of Klaw and Erlanger and the Shuberts. He has seen service as a screen performer with the Kalem and Metro companies and started his work with Selznick as leading man to Olive Thomas in "The Spite Bride "and "Upstairs and Down.'' Recently he has produced as a director "A Fool and His Money" and "The Figurehead," both starring Eugene O'Brien. 367
