Montagu Love Returns (1926) 🇺🇸

Ending a vaudeville tour in Los Angeles, Montagu Love succumbed again to the lure of the screen and signed to play in Paramount’s “The Ancient Highway.” Theretofore his picture work had always been in the East, sandwiched in between stage productions.

His has been an interesting life, with much travel and changing activities. He has been newspaper writer and sketch artist, stage and screen actor, and globe trotter. Born in Calcutta, India, he grew up and was sent to Cambridge, where he won some note as an athlete. During college days, he began drawing for the London Times, and later sketched many great personages.

While on an assignment to sketch a British general, he decided to answer his bent and dropped into a theatrical booking agent’s office. Given a rôle, he acted it for a week and then was fired. Other good rôles followed, however, and for years he was seen in the metropolitan centers of the world.

During the time he has spent in the movie studios, for occasional pictures, he has appeared under practically every banner.
