©EdNAI^D BARKER. Born in Scotland just twenty-eight years ago Came to the United States eight years later, wrote and staged a play at the age of sixteen; owner of his own stock company at Kansas City at the age of twenty-one; stage director for such stars as Henry Miller. Olga Xethersole. Walker Whiteside. Emily Stevens, Robert Hilliard. and many years producer for such firms as Klaw & Erlanger. Wm. A. Brady and Liebler & Co., and now a motion picture director of high ideals with a long list of Japanese and feature pictures to his credit such as "The Typhoon." "The Two-Gun Man" with U. S. Hart; "On the Night Stage" with Robert Edeson, and "The Dago" with George Beban With the full approval of Mr. Ince, Mr. Barker has introduced many of his own ideas into the screen plays. Be is a strong advocate of the natural school of acting, at the same time he is more than ordinarily artistic in his effects. He contends that the film drama should be as free from tricks and clap-trap as the most legitimate spoken drama. He believes that there are great latent possibilities in the field, that pictures should be artistic, ethical, educational, as well as amusing and entertaining.
