Following in the footsteps of his father, actor Frederick Warde (1851-1935), British-born, American-reared Ernest C. Warde made his professional stage debut in Julius Caesar in 1893 and later played nine seasons with the legendary Richard Mansfield. In films since 1914, Warde became an important actor/director with the New York-based Thanhouser company, a small but bustling movie factory with a knack for filming the classics. Warde would direct and/or star in such productions as King Lear (1916), The Vicar of Wakefield (1917) -- both starring Frederick Warde -- and Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White (1917) before the company went out of business in 1918. Relocating to Los Angeles, Warde spent his final years directing mainly low-budget films.
