Sydney Ayres — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Sydney Ayres, the popular new leading man of the “Flying A” Company, bears his laurels well.

His record on the legitimate stage has been most enviable for one of his years, for he has been associated as leading man with such celebrities as E. H. Sothern and Otis Skinner.

He played the part of the original clansman in Thomas Dixon’s play The Clansman, and supported Wilton Lackeye in Hall Caine’s The Bondsman, besides having been leading man with dozens of different stock companies.

His first stage experience was gained as Little Lord Fauntleroy and he made his picture debut in one of the “101 Bison” films produced by the New York Motion Picture Company.

Later he served with Selig and Edison and now has decided to make his home at Santa Barbara with the American stock company. “The Occult” was the means of his introduction to “Mutual” patrons for that was his first American.
