Photo by Witzel Chappell Dossett to the American screen whose work gives much promise, and who comes to this country after eight years of European experience, a large part of which was spent as production manager for the London Film Company. When the Ben Hur company went abroad, Chappell Dossett joined the cast to play the role of Drusus. When Fred Niblo brought Ben Hur back to Hollywood, Dossett continued in the cast. Upon completing his role as Drusus his next appearance has been with William Neill in the Fox production of The Cowboy Prince. Dossett has distinctive screen personality and looks like a comer on the American silver sheet.
