| Rising to a prominent place among motion picture executives and directors
is the achievement that marks every milestone in the career of Marshall
Neilan. Born in California, Mr. Neilan became an actor ere he had reached
his twentieth birthday. Finally forsaking the spoken drama for the silent
drama, his rise to fame reads almost like a fairy tale. He has played opposite
Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark, and Blanche Sweet, and he is now engaged
in the making of the Marshall Neilan Productions, the first of which, "The
River's End," has stamped him as a genius and a master hand at transforming
the written story to the screen. His productions are released to public
view through Associated First National Pictures, Inc. |
