Harold M. Shaw — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Harold M. Shaw is another recruit from the sunny South; Kentucky, at that. Though ‘tis scarce a year since Mr. Shaw recruited, he has done wonderful things in the way of film pictures since his date of initiation, January first, 1912.

For, not only does he act, but he also produces. “A Fresh Air Romance.” and “A Romance of the Rails” are among his recent efforts in the producing line and, of course, he had to be a perfectly splendid actor before he was entrusted with a director’s title.

It was in 1894 that Mr. Shaw first appeared on the stage. That was in California. Then he served five years in stock and several more years in other productions with famous players. Vaudeville was the next step, then motion pictures with the Edison company.

And now? Pshaw! why everything is coming his way. before and behind the camera, and he is hustling around the Edison studio at a pace that promises more honors.
