Edward J. Peil — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Edward J. Peil, playing leads in Lubin releases, has a strong personality and a forceful manner of acting.

Earnest in his art, Mr. Peil [Edward Peil Sr.] is a valuable man in the studio and gets his full share of important roles, usually being selected to play opposite Ormi Hawley.

Born in Racine, Wisconsin, in 1882, he was educated at Sacred Heart College, Watertown, Wisconsin, and at Notre Dame.

He is still a student, fiction being his hobby, which assists him greatly in his present work.

Mr. Peil became interested in motion pictures while playing in drama on the legitimate stage, having several years of traveling and stock experience to his credit.

His recreation is marked with the same set purpose and enthusiasm that has made him popular with the screen fans.

His favorite sport is baseball, declaring it to be more worthy and exciting than a bull-fight.
