| Charles Stuart Blackton, six-year old son of J. Stuart Blackton, producer
of Blackton Feature Pictures, made his first bow to the public via the screen
when he was only one year old, appealing in his father's production, "The
Battle Cry of Peace." At the Age of three, he played with his sister,
Violet Virginia Blackton, in Paula Blackton's Country Life stories which
were produced under the direction of their mother, Mrs. J. Stuart Blackton.
In "Passers By," Commodore Blackton's personally directed production
of C. Badilon Chambers' human heart drama of London, the characterization
given to the role of the child in the play by Charles, immediately stamped
him as a splendid little actor, and his work was lavishly praised by all
screen critics. |
