| William Desmond Taylor, who has directed Mary Miles Minter in her starring
vehicles for Realart, was born in Ireland and educated in England. At the
outbreak of the World war, with a sigh of regret at the thought of leaving,
perhaps forever, the country of his adoption, Mr. Taylor enlisted as a private
in the British army and was soon in active service. Immediately upon receiving
his discharge, Mr. Taylor made arrangements to return to America and he
has since directed the making of "Huckleberry Finn." He also directed
the making of the splendid William Fox production, "North of 53,"
arid "Tale of Two Cities," likewise Artcraft's "How Could
You Jean," "Johanna Enlists," and "Capt. Kidd, Jr.,"
together with a host of other screen successes. |
