Biography
Connecticut, 1849: a restless boy named Marcus Moriarity draws his first breath, unaware that footlights rather than factory smoke will shape his future. By 1914 he is slipping into the flickering world of The Lost Paradise, followed swiftly by The Pretenders (1915) and the wartime reverie The Flower of No Man’s Land (1916). Off-screen, he shares his life with Minnie L., the question mark after her surname hinting at a private tale never committed to publicity. The final curtain falls on 21 June 1916, the lights of Broadway still glowing outside his last Manhattan window.
