Augustus Phillips — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Augustus Phillips is a new arrival in the world of photo-players, but in the short time he has appeared on the screen he has proven himself a valuable addition to the ranks of the Edison players.

The immediate success which Mr. Phillips has enjoyed is partially accounted for by his experience on the stage, having spent eight years in a well-known Brooklyn stock company followed by two years at the Fifth Avenue and Lincoln Square theaters, New York.

With wonderful powers of emotionalism and admirable characterization, Mr. Phillips will gain popularity as a motion picture player. But he does not restrict his activities to the serious side of life, for we find him in such delightful comedies as “Her Polished Family” and “Lost — Three Hours.”

If Mr. Phillips continues to gain laurels, he will soon be one of the most popular of motion picture actors.
