He was also a mime who played Lucianus in Hamlet in the Ballet Russe.[3] As theater critic, he explained in 1923:
- The [vaudeville] actor works with the idea of an immediate response from the audience: and with regard to its demands. By cutting out everything -every line, gesture, movement- to which the audience does not react and by improvising new thins, he establishes unusual unity between the audience and himself... Stylization in gesture, pose, misen-scène and make-up follows as a result of long experiment before the primitive spectator whose power as judge is absolute.[4][5]
He translated the lyric drama Star (The) Woman from Russian alongside P. Colum.[6]
He directed the theatre drama Anathema by L. N. Andreev at the Apollo Theater, New York.[7]
He is buried at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.[8]
