Earl Metcalf — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Earl Metcalf [Earl Metcalfe] can pronounce “Abgergevenny” just as readily as you and the rest of the world can’t. That’s because he was born there; it is somewhere in Wales and he left it and sailed for the States as soon as he heard of the stars and stripes and Cincinnati.

He was educated in the university of that city, studied for West Point, and, during night-rider troubles, organized a Kentucky state militia.

Then he changed his mind about wanting to be a soldier and decided upon the stage as a profession. That was twelve years ago and since then he has played in big city stock, was leading man for Stella Hammerstein and juvenile man for Zelda Sears.

He is a writer of short stories and — but first of all, he is one of the Lubin company’s very best men at their Western studio.

He is said to be terribly good-looking, but, after all, it is his sterling ability that makes him popular, not his looks.
