About

Lawrence Marston (June 8, 1857 – February 1, 1939) was an American actor, playwright, producer, stage director, and film director whose Broadway career spanned from 1901 to 1906. Born into a Jewish family in Hammerstadt, Bohemia, in the Austrian Empire, in the territory now known as Vlastějovice in the Czech Republic, he was naturalized in Chicago and spent much of his life in New York City.

Marston's stage work encompassed both performance and writing. His Broadway credits as a book writer include The Helmet of Navarre (1901), When the World Sleeps (1905), Jeanne D'Arc (1906), The Widow Goldstein, and For Liberty and Love. His playwriting output extended beyond Broadway, with earlier works including An Innocent Sinner (1896), The Penitent (1902), adapted from Hall Caine's novel A Son of Hagar, The Little Mother (1902), A Remarkable Case (1902), and After Midnight (1904). His stage directing work continued into the 1920s, including The Monster (1922), a play by Crane Wilbur, and Death Takes a Holiday (1929), a production that featured Katharine Hepburn and from which both she and Marston were dismissed during the run.

Following his stage career, Marston transitioned into film, working with Biograph Studios as a director. His film credits include The Evidence of the Film (1913), The Woman in Black (1914), Under the Gaslight (1914) with Lionel Barrymore and Mrs. Lawrence Marston, The Marriage Bond (1916), and A Wall Street Tragedy (1916). He also contributed to film as a screenwriter, with credits including the scenario for The Warfare of the Flesh (1917), The Border Legion (1918), and an adaptation of A Man of Iron (1925).

Marston married actress Lillian Lewis in 1888. His second wife, Anna Cornelia Delves, performed professionally under the name Mrs. Lawrence Marston and appeared alongside him in Under the Gaslight. Together they had one daughter, Anna Lawrence Marston, who was baptized Catholic at age 12. Marston died on February 1, 1939, in Manhattan, and his ashes were interred in the mausoleum at Ferncliff Cemetery.
