But Three
Months
Didnt
Cure
Him
ONE of Douglas MacLean's staunchest admirers is a minister in Washington, D. C. — a fine, lovable old man who started his son on a career as a mechanical engineer, and consented to the boy's fling at the stage only because he thought "three months would cure him."
In compliance with his father's wishes, Douglas MacLean went from Philadelphia to the Northwestern University preparatory school at Evanston, 111., and then entered the Lewis Institute of Technology in Chicago.
After leaving school, he met Daniel Frohman in New York, and unburdened a dramatic enthusiasm dating from his appearance with the school amateurs in Chicago. The producer told him young men of education were needed on the stage, and {•ave him a letter of introduction to John Emerson. Engagements with Maude Adams and as a stock leading man followed; then — the movies.
He has appeared in support of Mary Pickford, Alice Brady, Enid Bennett, Vivian Martin, Clara Kimball Young, Mollie King, Frances Nelson and Gail Kane. On the stage he has played with Margaret Anglin, Maude Fealy, Marjorie Rambeau, Mary Servoss and Jane Grey.
Photoplays in which he had especial opportunities were "The Hun 'Within," starring Dorothy Gish; Mary Pickford's "Captain Kidd, Jr.," and "Johanna Enlists."
Now be is a star in his own right.
