Biography
A May-birth Londoner of 1867, J. Malcolm Dunn swapped the Thames fog for klieg lights, becoming both a steady screen presence and the quiet hand steering scenes from the shadows. Moviegoers remember him swaggering through *Peter Stuyvesant* (1924), chasing illusions in *The Magic Cup* (1921), and navigating cultural clashes in *Dawn of the East* (1921). Off-set, he shared life and scripts with actress-writer Violette Kimball, his partner in work and heart. Forty-six Octobers after his birth, he took his final bow in Beechhurst, Queens—leaving behind reels that still flicker with his spirit.
