Marc McDermott — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Marc McDermott is “our own Marc” to the picture lovers who choose their favorites by merit of their work rather than the way they wear their hair or make love.

His acting in Edison films marks him as one of much stage experience and a brief resume of his life reveals the fact that he made his theatrical bow at an early age and has been in the profession ever since.

He played Shakespearean roles for seven years in George Rignold’s company and came to the states from his native England, with Mrs. Pat Campbell, traveling from coast to coast, in leading roles with her company.

He played Sherlock Holmes for two seasons under Frohman management, and later played with Marie Dainton and the late Dennis O’Sullivan, with Mansfield and with Joseph Brooks.

Two years ago he signed with the Edison people and has been more than deserving of the title “leading man” ever since.
