WILLIAM DESMOND TAYLOR, DIRECTOR, MOROSCO
MUCH of the success of a number of Morosco subjects made during the past year must be attributed to the direction of William Desmond Taylor. He has been in charge of filming "Pasquale" with George Beban as star; "Davy Crockett" and "The Parson of Panamint" which stars Dustin Farnum, and the adaption of the E. P. Roe story "He Fell in Love With His Wife."
Mr. Taylor is an Irishman, born April 26, 1877. He was educated at the Clifton College, England, and did his first dramatic work in the British Isles with Charles Hawtry. For five seasons Mr. Taylor played with Fanny Davenport, and after this was with a number of different productions each for one season. His last work on the legitimate stage was with Katherine Kidder. In all he spent fifteen years in dramatic work before entering the motion picture field. _
His first screen work was for Thomas H. Ince at the New York Motion Picture Corporation Studio. From there he went to Vitagraph where he played in a number of short subjects, and was featured in the name part of that five reel success, "Captain Alvarez," in which Edith Storey played the lead opposite.
For a year Mr. Taylor directed and played in pictures at the Balboa plant, then became director of Carlyle Blackwell, and was in charge of filming all the Favorite Players productions which include "The High Hand," and "The Last Chapter" by Richard Harding Davis.
From here he went to the American where he produced the largest serial ever made, "The Diamond From The Sky," in thirty two-reel episodes. From the American engagement he took up his present work at the Morosco plant.
Mr. Taylor is a painstaking director and a stickler for details, and his wide experience makes it possible for him to accurately and speedily produce pictures that win praise from the critics.
Mr. Taylor is fond of all out-of-door sports, and is a member of the Los Angeles Athletic and the Town and Country Clubs. He has a very good screen appearance, is one inch more than six feet in height, has dark brown hair and blue eyes.
When Mr. Taylor gave up acting to give all his attention to directing, the screen lost a handsome leading man, and a finished actor.
