Eddie Lyons — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Eddie Lyons is the Nestor comedian, whose motto is, “Make the world laugh and it is yours.”

He believes in mottos, furthermore he believes in living up to them; hence Eddie is a happy-dispositioned young man, for he acts up to the belief that the world is his, not only in filmmaking hours, but out of them as well.

Beardstown, Ill., the town Lincoln picked out in which to practice law, started Lyons out in life with a good baritone voice and the fear of nobody in his heart.

He was one of the Newsboy Quartette in 1901, played for a short time in melodrama, followed this with a long engagement at the Marlowe theater, Chicago, played on vaudeville time, was the sheriff in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, and created the role of Ravonne in Beverly of Graustark.

His work in pictures began with Biograph; then Imp; then Nestor, a year and a half ago.
