John E. Ince — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

John E. Ince, director and leading man, made his first appearance in pantomime one and a half years ago.

In signing him the Lubin studio deprived the legitimate stage of one of its foremost actors. His parts in “Resurrection,” “Ben Hur,” and “The Great Divide” helped establish his reputation and his first appearance before the camera proved him capable of work for which the talking stage had no field.

His two brothers, Thomas H. [Thomas H. Ince] and Ralph [Ralph Ince], are widely known in film circles but are in no way responsible for his success, for John E. [John Ince] stands upon his own feet. Mr. Ince finds fullest expression of his individuality and temperament in western drama.

As a director he is known to handle “big” things with ease, and works hard for the realization of his one ambition — to produce a picture that shall be beyond criticism.
