Abstract:

Sidney Blackmer was a Salisbury native before moving to Hollywood where he pursued an acting career. His path to acting was difficult and did not begin until after a year in law school at the University of North Carolina, which he could not afford tuition for more than a year. After being recruited during World War I, he returned to theater where he worked his way up from stage hand to cast member. His most acclaimed work came from his portrayal of President Theodore Roosevelt in seven different movies.

Abstract:

The development of the dramatic arts in North Carolina has been quite interesting. Beginning with the Gifford Strolling Players as early as 1780s, North Carolina has been the home to many actors and movie stars. In 1793 New Bern vied for theatrical preeminence with the first theatrical performance given by pupils of the North Carolina school. Theatrical excellence continued in men such as John Augustin Daly, noted playwright and produce, born in Plymouth, and William Churchill DeMille, playwright, born in Washington.
