Dark Cloud — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

E. Tahamont Dark Cloud, a Sioux, son of a chieftain who fought Custer, was born at Chimney Point, Lake Champlain, N. Y., many moons ago — Dark Cloud refusing to give out the exact date.

He was educated at Sabrevois College, Rouses Point, Lake Champlain. Dark Cloud has taken numerous leading Indian parts in dramatic and vaudeville sketches, appearing in “The Great Train Robbery,” and “The Forty-niners.”

He first became interested in photoplay work while watching motion pictures in the old “black tent” days, when the films were projected in a darkened sideshow tent by the circus people.

Dark Cloud has been in photoplay work for the last five years, being featured in turn by the Biograph company, Pathé, and the Reliance company of the Mutual Film Corporation.

He is one of the finest horsemen working in moving pictures.
