Gordon Sackville (1911) 🇺🇸

Both the Nestor Film Company and Mr. Gordon Sackville are to be congratulated, the former for capturing the services of one of the best motion picture actors, and the latter for having enlisted in the ranks of “The Worth-While Film.”

Mr. Sackville, though in the very prime of life, has had a long and successful dramatic experience, having been for many years “character lead” with the late Richard Mansfield, who deemed him worthy of his closest friendship and admired his versatility. Mr. Sackville has also played leading parts with the “Fritzi Scheff Opera Company,” Shubert’s “Chinese Honeymoon Company,” and at the Hippodrome, New York City. As “Mr. Brown” in the original “Buster Brown Company,” he made a decided hit.

His motion picture experience dates back to 1901, having worked chiefly in the Edison Company. In the Rex initial release A Heroine of ’76, he was the stately and imposing Washington.

Excelling in character and heavy leads, Mr. Sackville’s great versatility enables him to play any role, however difficult it may be. He is a war veteran, having served nine months during the Spanish-American War as first sergeant in Company “H,” 47th Regiment Volunteers. He possesses a magnificent physique, and is uncommonly handsome. His strength is so phenomenal that ten able-bodied men completely exhausted themselves in a futile effort to tear him from a couch.

Mr. Sackville, who is now playing leads in the Nestor Company, under the direction of Mr. Thomas Ricketts, will shortly be seen in the Monday release of said company.
