Victor Herbert was born in Dublin in 1880, a grandson of the celebrated Irish novelist and poet, Samuel Lover. At the age of nine the lad went with his mother to Germany for the study of music which he with passionately loved. So brilliant was his progress that when still a youth he was commissioned to teach in the conservatory in Stuttgart. He came to America to become a member of the orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera, then conducted by Anton Seidl. When*the same director went to the Philharmonie, young Herbert went with him as first cellist. He was for a time bandmaster for the 22nd New York Regiment. Later he spent six years as conductor of the Pittsburgh Philharmonic. In 1904 he organized his own orchestra. While directing the majestic symphonies of Bach and Beethoven the lighter, but no less authentic, harmonies of his own genius were seeking expression. The first of the Herbert successes was “The Fortune Teller.” This was followed by many brilliant operettas, among them being “Ameer,” “Singing Girl,” “Vic All Color! All Beautiful! All Romantic! a eroy,” “Babes in Toyland,” “Old Modiste”’ Dutch,” “Dolly Dollars,” “Babette,” Music by “Tattooed Man,” “Wonderland,” VICTOR “Norland,” “Mlle. Modiste,” “Prima HERBERT Donna,” “Red Mill,” “Naughty Marietta,” “Sweet Sixteen,” “Duchess,” “Princess Pat,’ “Enchantress,” “Only Girl,” “Lady of the Slipper,” “Eileen” and “Velvet Lady.” His two operas were “Madeline” and “Natoma.” His capacity for creation was prodigious, it not being unusual for him to be working on four scores simultaneously. Many of his songs have become the common property of humanity. Few there are who do not know “I’m Falling in Love with Someone,” “Slumber on My Little Gypsy Sweetheart,” “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life,” and the “March of the Wooden Soldiers” is as much a classic of childhood as Eugene Field’s “Little Boy Blue.” Victor Herbert died at the height of his powers in 1924, when sixtyfour years of age. Time only serves to establish him more firmly in the affection of the world. “Kiss Me Again,” which is a gorgeous rendering of the romance of “Mlle. Modiste,’ was directed for First National by William A. Seiter.

Gran is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished character actors, and his roles are not always comie, although these do predominate. He is an accomplished linguist, speaking English perfectly and without accent although he did not learn it until he was grown. He was born in Norway, educated in Germany, and started his real career as an actor on the London stage, after studying English for a year with a tutor who was an ex-Cambridge man. He also speaks German, French, Swedish and Danish perfectly. He is noted for his repertory of roles on the speaking stage, knowing nearly fifty parts by heart. After 15 years on the London stage he came to New York, where he repeated his suecess. Hollywood eventually lured him, and he has been in the film city for some years. His most noted role before appearing as the deaf General in “Kiss. Me Again” was that of the French taxi-driver in “Seventh Heaven,” with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. : u Attend the Bargain rw You Couldn’t Wish For ‘More!
