appearance on the screen In Triangle
plays produced by Thomas H. Ince.
Thompson's initial effort was made
for "Peggy," the now famed Scotch
comedy drama In which Billy Burke
is starred. During the production of

silent as he did his "business' in front
of the lens. In scenes in which he I
was supposed to be talking he spoke i
barely above a whisper and this was
done merely to be consistent.
