biography
A true motion picture pioneer, Joseph C. Boyle entered films in 1912 as an actor for the Philadelphia-based Lubin Company. He later became a prop man, cutter, casting director, production manager, and assistant director on a host of films that included Rex Ingram's European-lensed Mare Nostrum (1926). He became a director with Robert Kane Productions in 1927 and helmed potboilers such as Broadway Nights (1927) starring Lois Wilson, Estelle Taylor's The Whip Woman, and Times Square (1929). The latter, a low-budget drama from Gotham Productions, featured talking sequences, but sound basically ended Boyle's screen career.
