THE leading man must of necessity be a hero, no matter what the histrionic environment may be. Thus Mr. Jack J. Clark, during his several seasons with the Kalem Company, has carried the flag into the midst of the enemy on southern battle fields, won the heart of the Irish maiden on the shores of Killarney and 'baffled the villains of many countries. Of late Mr. Clark — in his professional capacity — has been wooing an Egyptian princess, under the shadows of the pyramids. As he is now about to enter the Holy Land, Mr. Clark, who is a thorough artist, will be seen in a wide range of parts and his many friends are assured that he will bring dignity and poise to every characterization.
It was only natural that Mr. Clark should rapidly gain the admiration of picture patrons when he entered the field of the silent drama, and his acquaintances have only one criticism to make regarding his present work. There is no opportunity to hear that rich baritone voice which made Mr. Clark a great favorite in such musical successes as “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway,” “The Newlyweds,” “The Serenade,” “The Strollers” and “Miss Bob White.” Mr. Clark is also a talented violinist and when you see him playing in the pictures, you may be sure that some delightful air issues from the instrument.
Mr. Clark was born in Philadelphia and as the Kalem Company of which he is a member is constantly on the move, visiting interesting countries, the young man has been unable to establish a definite residence. When he entered theatricals at an early age, his mother was not inclined to encourage him and it is an interesting fact that when he took the good lady to Ireland last summer, she became enthused with the spirit of the players and created many delightful characters in the Kalem dramas. Mrs. Clark was recently featured in “HIS MOTHER,” and her work in “THE COLLEEN BAWN,” “ARRAII-NAPOGUE” and other Irish productions will be long remembered.
Matinee idols, who are in the lime-light several times a week, cast envious eyes at Mr. Clark, who appears simultaneously in hundreds of picture theatres. His manly bearing and striking personality admirably equip him for the position which he occupies so gracefully.
