Irving Cummings — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸
Irving Cummings enjoys two positions of honor, namely: being leading man of the Reliance stock company and manager of the Reliance base-ball team, and in both capacities he ranks high.
Mr. Cummings hesitates to say which calling he likes the better, but they both like him so well that the honors are about even. Twenty-eight is the Cummings age, a youthful one, really, for the progress its owner has made in his chosen profession.
For several years his work was that of the stage, his last appearances being with Lillian Russell as leading man, and later with William Crane.
His picture experience began in the Thanhouser company and from there, one and one-half years ago, he came to the Reliance studio and has been featured by Director Apfel [Oscar Apfel] in a number of noteworthy films. He was “The Man from the Outside” and the lead in “The Open Road” and “The Fires of Conscience.”
