Augustus Phillips — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Augustus Phillips worries not a bit about the variety of roles he is called upon to play for the pleasure of spectators whose favored films are those with the ring around the “E.”

For Augustus can assume any kind of a part and make it stand out by itself, with all the credit going Phillips-ward. He is a most pleasant person, say those who know Mr. Phillips personally, and his pleasing appearance warrants that decision on the part of those who know him merely as a screen acquaintance.

His theatrical work covers a number of years, and an amount of experience that made success in his chosen line inevitable. His best known work was that with the Spooner stock company in Brooklyn, N. Y.

The Edison company rejoiced when Mr. Phillips responded to its invitation to join its ranks where his interest in his work, which is stamped with individuality and charm, brought him popularity to an unlooked for degree.
