Edwin August — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Edwin August, late Universal star, who is to be featured in all forthcoming Eaco releases, is one of the officers of the concern.

In addition to writing and producing the two-reel pictures in which he will appear, he will supervise the production of the other comedy and dramatic companies. Mr. August’s experience in motion pictures dates back to the old Biograph days, where he played leads opposite Blanche Sweet and Mary Pickford.

He left Biograph to be featured with the Universal and later organized the Edwin August Universal company at the west coast studio.

He is now at the head of his own organization, where he can experiment with the many new ideas of photoplay production which have made him one of the leading exponents of the new art.

His first production under the Eaco banner is “Below the Dead Line.”
