By 1910, he had become interested in pursuing a career in theater and began working as a stage manager for the renowned entertainer, composer, playwright and director George M. Cohan. During this period, he met and became friends with a stage actor named D.W. Griffith. His first films were made with Griffith by Biograph Company in New Jersey.
