I Biographical Sketch j
EDWIN CAREWE has had a long and varied career in the motion picture industry as producer, actor and director. There is little about the production end he is not familiar with and it is not surprising that he has been identified with some oi the most successful pictures.
Born in Gainesville, Texas, Carewe was well educated in tne pubhc schools in that state and at the Universities of Texas and Missouri. His father was a Chickasaw Indian and tneir representative in Washington.
Carewe started his professional career with the Dearborn Mock Company in 1902 and spent five months with them in repertoire. For several years following he was with various stock companies before making his first appearance in New York with Chauncey Olcott in "O'Neill of Darcy." Among the famous stage stars in whose support he appeared were Otis Skinner, Rose Coghlan, Laurette Taylor and Weber and Fields.
He then made his first picture, in which he also acted, with Walker Whiteside in "The Typhoon." He was engaged by the Lubin Company for a tour of the world to make pictures as they went. The tour started at Washington and some pictures were made at Fort Meyer. After seven months he returned to Philadelphia and was co-starred with Ormi Hawley in a series of pictures.
The first picture of importance in which he appeared was "The Inside of the White Slave Traffic," which created a furore. His first directorial effort was "Across the Pacific" for Blaney Brothers. It was in this picture that Dorothy Dalton made her debut.
For five years Carewe was associated with B. A. Rolfe of the Metro Company. He directed and played the leading role in "Three of Us," with Mabel Taliaferro. A long line of successes followed his advent into the industry as a director. Among these may be mentioned "Madonna of the Streets," "The Bad Man," "Son of the Sahara," "Girl of the Golden West," "Mighty Lak a Rose," and others. His latest efforts were "Resurrection" for Inspiration Pictures and "Ramona" for the same company, both of which star Dolores Del Rio, and are released through United Artists.
