Biography
Boston, 1881: Stewart Baird drew his first breath in a city of clamorous trolley bells and gas-lit theaters, a fitting overture for a life that would unfold beneath klieg lights. By 1915 he had slipped into the fledgling world of flickering images, leaving brisk imprints in three one-reel narratives—*The Moth and the Flame*, *The Runaway Wife*, and *The Incorrigible Dukane*—each a single year’s burst of silver-screen adrenaline. Off-screen, he claimed a new leading role when he wed Ann Warden, once the wife of the late Howard Dews, and together they navigated the quieter acts that followed his brief cinematic blaze. On 28 October 1947, the curtain fell in New York City, where the neon marquees he once graced kept glowing long after he had stepped into the dark.
