Biography
Frederick Warde was born in England in 1851, and became a popular Shakespearean actor in the 1870s in New York. By the 1910s his general popularity was in decline, though he was still considered a leading authority on Shakespearean acting. He appeared in Richard III (1912) at age 61 and often performed live in the theater where the film was being shown. Warde would lecture on the topic of William Shakespeare and deliver monologues and recitations between reels of the film.
