Edward Boulden

Biography

Born beneath the wide skies of Pencader, Delaware, on 4 July 1879, Edward Boulden stepped into the flicker of early cinema and never stepped out. He slipped between centuries on-screen—first as a doomed royal in Mary Stuart (1913), then as the hapless victim of a comedic mix-up in The Right Number, But the Wrong House that same whirlwind year. A decade later he resurfaced as the roguish title charmer of The Love Bandit (1924), proving his silhouette still carried weight in the age of jazz and speakeasies. Boulden’s final curtain fell on 29 August 1937, leaving behind a compact but indelible reel of silent-era memory.
