Phillips Smalley — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Phillips Smalley and the name Rex are synonymous; for the tall, good-looking, dignified man who shows his ability in his handling of leading roles for the Rex company, began a public demonstration of good judgment when he chose Miss Weber for his wife and, by his able directorship of Rex films continues to demonstrate his possession of the good judgment quality, to the further honor of himself and the kingly company he represents.

Twenty years of stage experience gave Mr. Smalley his training for a successful film career.

Three of these twenty years were spent in a company headed by Mrs. Fiske, three with the Savage management, one with the Shuberts, one with H. B. Harris and one with Liebler and Company.

Six months with Reliance, five with Kalem and eighteen with Gaumont Talking Pictures preceded this popular man’s work with Rex as both actor and director.
