MARSHALL NEILAN

 

From Who's Who on the Screen (1920)

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.
