T WILLIAM FARNUM
p" No actor on the stage or screen
has a larger following than the stai
of "The Adventurer," the Fox picture
which comes tp the Rialto theatre
J? Tuesday.
' William Farnum comes by that fol
tie liftg because of the interest he
takes in his work, the study he makei
^ of every role he enacts, his correct
ad ,ness in minor details of character!
er zation and his remarkable ability t<
LD| feel and make live the heroes he im
Q(j personates.
II William Farnum has learned wha
few screen stars have learned, thai
og the strength of acting lies in the ac
Is tors ability to sink his own person
he ality and to become the person he ii
le> portraying on the screen,
he ; On July 4, 1876, in Boston, Wil
p- liam Farnum .was born of sturdj
ial New England stock. His first stag!
be appearance was made in his father*!
oa stock company.'
A j Before he was twenty-one he was a
f .the head of his own company. His sue
fees in Boston and the Middle Wes
?* was great, but his success'* in Nev
York, where he realized his childhoo<
** ambition of having his own company
in his own theatre, was still greater.
^ The history of the American stag!
* records no greater success than thai
^ of "Ben Hur," which for years was oru
99 of the greatest of stage attractions. H
was William Farnum who gave to thai
jg play its greatest distinctiin. His act
00 ing was hailed from the Atlantic t<
of the Pacific as a great artistic achieve
of ment.
>w "Virginius" and "The Prince o1
India" followed and then came the
wonderful drama "The Littlest Rebel.'
to The list of .notable stage successes
scored by this artist is a long one.
If Farnum was a success on th(
** stage, his motion picture career has
been a triumph. No actor has broughl
to the screen greater dignity or highei
purpose than William Farnum. In al
T# his work is something which is founc
of in the work of no other actor. His dual
role in "A Tale of Two Cities" is
