Book about actor and director Allen Holubar


Introduction



He may have passed the peak of his career when sudden death ended the life of Allen Holubar in 1923 - Holubar was not even thirtyfive years old, when he passed away. He had directed at least thirty-four pictures in the years 1916 to 1923, among them seventeen full length features in the length of five thousand feet and more, and his greatest successes were five years away. He just had signed a three picture deal with the Metro Corporation and was directing the scenes of the Battle at Franklin in Tennessee, when he caught the typhoid fever, that was also the cause of death of many soldiers forty years ago. He was Carl Laemmle's drawing card Number One when Universal expanded agressivly his shares in the domestic US Film Market. But he quarreled with Laemmle, their partnership broke up and Holubar became 'independent'.

There were talks about an Italian partnership with Gabriele d'Annunzio, however we could not find any details in the d'Annunzio Archives in Gardone. He was (probably) happily married to actress Dorothy Phillips, his First Lady in most of his feature-length motion pictures. And Dorothy Phillips had her own career beside her husband's pictures, both were a prominent couple in the Hollywood comunity.

Holubar's name comes up in relation with other important events in Hollywood's Cinema at the end of the second decade: His and P.A. Powers influence re-opened Universal's doors to Rex Ingram in 1919; with Ingram, Holubar was in the Advisory Council of Palmer Photoplays; with Ingram he was under an exclusive Metro contract; Holubar directed Rudolph Valentino in "Once to Every Woman," and he may have been given the decisive hints to cast Valentino for Ingram's "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."

And like other names in early Hollywood Cinema, Holubar's name disappeared with his death, his unfinished picture was never completed. Although at least seven of his feature length pictures survive, none of them has been restored. "The Heart of Humanity" has a certain fame for its scene showing von Stroheim as brutal Hun with the crying baby, but the film survives for the audience only in a dreadful DVD-version. The print of "The Right to Happiness" with Dorothy Phillips in the role of the twin sisters, shown in Pordenone in 2017, is not in a much better state. No study to restore Holubars movies has been undertaken.

Kevin Brownlow told us, that he tried to interview Dorothy Phillips for his book The Parade's Gone By ... (1968) , but she was not at all interested to talk about herself or her former husband. So this leaves us just with what was published during Holubar's lifespan. Except for some references to "The Heart of Humanity," there are only very few lines to be found on Allen Holubar. This annotated filmography, to our knowledge, is the first publication about this director, actor and producer to embrace his whole career from his early acting experiences in San Francisco to his last unfinished film about the Battle at Franklin in Tennessee.

No doubt, Holubar was not Hollywood's greatest director, not even for the late Teens or early Twenties, but he was well respected and successful in those years, and his moving pictures attracted crowds and experts. Or, with the words of Kevin Brownlow: In terms of cinematic action, Allen Holubar was probably better than Griffith...*)

Illustrations and stills are from the Giornate del Cinema Muto Pordenone, period magazines like „Moving Picture Weekly,“ „Motion Picture News,“ etc. and the author's collection.

We would like to thank all those who helped us with documents and information to complete as much as possible an incomplete homage to Allen Holubar and to restore for him a place outside of oblivion.

Biographical Notes



There is conflicting information on the date of birth of Allen Holubar: according to the Blue Book published in 1920, he was born August 3, 1890, in San Francisco. Most other sources give an earlier date August 3, 1889, and as per IMDb Holubar was born 1888. The short biographical information on IMDb (by Michael Allen Holubar) has some more details. Allen's father, Constantin Josef Holubar (1853-d.), immigrated from Bohemia in 1875 and had married in 1886 a Scots immigrant, Margaret Allen. They settled in San Francisco, and Allen was born at 44 Caselli Avenue, the oldest son of five children. At early age he started working in local theatres and eventually began an acting career first at the Alcazar & Alhambra Theatres in San Francisco under Fred Belasco. Allen was sixteen years old.

"I was only sixteen at the time, and some way or other I had managed to get a speaking part in 'The Lady of Lyons,' with the famous old Alcazar Stock Co. I don't know how I ever hypnotized them into giving me the chance, but the first night was the most important in my life, and you may be sure that I had let every kid in my neighborhood know of the honor which had been conferred upon me. They were all out in force in the gallery, having promised to give me their support. And they certainly kept their word. I was the messenger, who brings 'Pauline' a note from 'Claude.' She answers by ordering the messenger a beating. He then rushes back to 'Claude,' and tells him that he was received with blows. This was the extent of my part, and I was determined to do or die in it. Well, I nearly died. I stood in the wings waiting for my cue, my teeth chattering and my knees feeling as if some one had taken the bones out and put in jelly instead. At last my cue came. I rushed on the stage, prepared to deliver my speech, when a familiar voice in the gallery bawled out, 'There's Al! Hullo, Al!'

"The audience caught on and began to howl with laughter. If I had been able to speak my lines, I should not have been heard. But I was paralyzed. I could not even turn and leave the stage, though simply longing to crawl into a hole and pull it in after me. Finally, 'Claude,' to get me off the scene, I suppose, asked, "Well, what did she do to you?' By this time I was completely rattled. 'Nothing,' I blurted out, and fairly ran for the nearest exit. As long as I live I never expect to get another round of applause like that which greeted my disappearance...." (The Moving Picture Weekly, May 12, 1917, pg 15)

He subsequently appeared in the East in a prominent role with Blanche Bates in the David Belasco production of "The Girl of the Golden West," followed then William A. Brady's presentation of "The Man of the Hour," a play by George Broadhurst – later on turned into a picture by Maurice Tourneur (1914), Henry W. Savage's "Everywoman," and so on. Holubar was with the Belasco stock in Los Angeles, Olympic stock Cincinnati, Pickwick Stock San Diego, Auditorium stock Spokane, Mozart Theatre Stock Elmira N.Y. and with T. Daniel Frawley's company of Seattle and Portland. For one season he was Berta Kalich's support in vaudeville.

1908



San Diego, January 22 – Pickwick Theatre (S.A. Palmer, mgr.): Week January 20, In the Bishop's Carriage is proven one of the best drawing cards the Pickwick Stock Company has ever put before the public. Allen Holubet, the new leading man, is certainly creating a favorable impression. The role of Nance Olden is played by Myrtle Vane. Miss Vane plays her scenes with Latimer (Allen Holuber) and Tom Dorgan (Fred Gilbert) in an excellent manner. (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, January 25, 1908, pg 7)

The San Diego Sun reported on Allen Holuber from the Pickwick Stock early 1908: „In the Bishop's Carriage affords Allen Holuber, the new leading man of the Pickwick Stock Company, a first-class chance to demonstrate his worth and if he overlooked any opportunity last evening, it was beyond the perception of his interested auditors. Mr. Holuber's work last evening demonstrated him to be one of the best leading men that has ever appeared with a stock company in San Diego, and there is not the slightest doubt that he will be rapidly become a warm favorite with all the theatregoers of this city. He is at all times perfectly natural, a quality which has been somewhat lacking in Pickwick leading men of the past, and an actor in every sense of the word, with a voice that is extremely melodious and pleasing. He shows a careful study of the part and from his showing last night much may be expected of him in the future.“ (quoted as Ad in The San Francisco Dramatic Review, February 15, 1908, pg 12)

The Dancing Girl not only affords a great opportunity for the actors of the Pickwick Stock Company to show their ability, but also affords a great chance for displaying some magnificent scenery, which the certainly do. (...) Allen Holuber as Valentine Danecourt, the Duke of Guisebury, does some excellent work. He continues to improve as the play progresses, and in the third act, when he contemplates self-destruction and colly sets about to prepare for the deed, he never fails to hold the undivided attention of his auditors. Although Mr. Holuber has been here only a few weeks, he has succeeded in making a great reputation for himself with the Pickwick audiences. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, March 7, 1908)

Comedy again holds the boards at the Pickwick this week and from the manner in which the audience received Turned Up it would appear that the bill will prove an extremely popular one. Myrtle Vane appears to excellent advantage as Tabina Medway. Allen Holuber, as George Medway, easily comes up to expectations. This is the seond time Mr. Holuber has been in comidies and the easy manner in which he handles his comedy shows that he is an actor of ability. (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, March 21, 1908, pg 7)

One of the most pretentious productions that has yet been attempted by any stock company in San Diego, and probably the heaviest that has been put on by the Pickwick Stock Company, is The Pit, which was last evening given its first presentation. As Laura Dearborn, Myrtle Vane scores one of the triumphs of her engagement. It is extrenely doubtful if Miss Vanei has ever done anything better. (...) Great credit should be given to Millar Bacon for an effective bit of acting in the fourth act, when he appears as Hargus, a ruined and broken down old man, who has lost his all in the wheat pit. (...) One of the hits of the bill was made by Allen Holuber (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, March 28, 1908, pg 7)

Comedy is again holding the boards at the Pickwick Theatre this week. What Happened to Jones was given its first presentation last evening by the stock company. It was received with great favor by the large audience. (...) Myrtle Vane has the part of Marjorie, and she handles the part in clever style. Allen Holuber provides plenty of amusement as the real Bishop of Ballarat (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, April 4, 1908, pg 6)

All the old-time characters dear to the heart of the lover of pastoral drama are represented in The Missourians, and the authors have drawn copiously from the store of country lore for their action and lines. Allen Holuber takes the part of a fiercy looking but big-hearted saloon-keeper, who finally thwarts the designs of the villain to prcure all the Widow Benton's property (...) This is the last week of stock for this season. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, April 25, 1908, pg 6)

This is the farewell wekk of the Pickwick Stock Company, and for its adieu the organization is being seen in a well-known drama, The Senator's Daughter. It is a considerably different play from The Mussourians, last week's bill. Allen Holuber is doing some fine work in the role of Gordon Stetson. Myrtle Vane is again doing some notable work this week in the role of Lucia Stetson, the Senator's daughter. Miss Vane's emotional work is never overdone, and her scenes, both with her husband and the Marquis, are handled in a truly artistic manner. Millar Bacon, as Lord „Harry“ Beresford, is every inch the scion of English nobility.Mazie Martell, a new member of the company, also to play one of the leading roles with the musical comedies, is fine. Miss Martell gained several pretty compliments, likewise hearty applause, from the way she sang That's What the Rose Told to Me. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, May 2, 1908, pg 6)

Holubar left San Diego mid of 1908 for the Jessie Shirley Company in Spokane: Allen Holuber bas joined the Jessie Shirley company in Spokane, replacing George McQuarrie. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, June 6, 1908, pg 5)

Spokane, June 28 – Chimmie Fadden was the bill presented by the Jessie Shirley Company at the Auditorium the weel of June 21. Allen J. Holuber playing the title role. Miss Shirley appeared in a soubrette part, as Hortense the French maid, gibing one of her most captivating and delightful characterizations. (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, July 11, 1908, pg 6)

Crowded houses greeted the re-opening of the Auditorium Theatre August 16th (...) Jessie Shirley and her excellent company, (...) splendid production of Alice of Old Vincennes (...) Miss Shirley in the title role gave one of the most remarkable portrayals of her long and brilliant engagement. (..) Allen Holuber as John Beverly did perhaps the strongest work in which he has been seen here. (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, August 29, 1908, pg 6)

The Jessie Shirley Company scored a decided hit at the Auditorium, week of August 23, in All on Account of Eliza, a comedy of the rural type, in which the majority of the cast appeared in excentric character roles. (...) Allen Holuber did capital work in the eccentric comedy part of Franz Hochstuhl, retired cattle dealer and president of the school-board. His make-up and dialect were exceptionally clever. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, September 12, 1908, pg 6)

Tacoma, Washington (...) After many weeks of preparation the McRae Players at the Star Theatre produced the long-promised When Knighthood Was in Flower, and to say that the company scored a success is stating it mildly. (...) Margaret Oswald as Mary Tudor created a sensation. Always excelent in her work, she surpassed herself. Sharing honors with her was Allen Holuber as Charles Brandon, the lover. His work was pleasing and his great versatility shown, so radically different was it from his role in The Devil last week. (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, October 10, 1908, pg 9)

(...) The bill, Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall, gives Miss Oswald the chance to portray the sort of role in which she is at her best, and to display some extremely handsome gowns. Mr. Holuber was good as Sir John (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, December 19, 1908, pg 10)

1909



(...) At the opening performance of Quo Vadis at the Star Theatre, Charles B. Hanford occupied a box and addressed the audience. That Tacomans appreciated the McRae players in Quo Vadis was evidenced by the big business that prevailed all week. The piece was gorgeously staged and costumed and splendidly given. Mr. McRae was fine in the role of Marcus Vinicius, having played the part when Quo Vadis was first produced on the road. Mr. Holuber as Petronius gave a successful rendition of the part. (...) (The San Francisco Dramatic Review, March 27, 1909, pg 6)

1912



Olympic (Charles Dorner. mgr.) — The Olympic Players are to begin their second week, 1. by offering "The Charity Ball." The new stock company's premiere was "Arizona." and Adra Ainslee [1874 - January 13, 1963] made her debut here in the role of Bonita with Allen J. Holubar as Lieut. Denton; Winfield De Long as the villainous Hodgman; Eugene La Roae (??) as Canby, Fred Hargrave in the comedy role of Dr. Fanton, and Harry Wilgus as Tony. [Names partly illegible] (The New York Clipper, December 7, 1912, pg 20)

The Olympic Players [Cincinnati] were seen last week in a revival of Daudet's Sapho, and presented it in a fairly good manner. The role of Sapho was handled by Minnie Remmally, and that of Jean by Allan Holubar. Harry Wilgus was cast as Uncle Cesaire, Robert Dalton as Caoudal, Winfield DeLong as Flamant, Fred Hargraves as Hettens and Millard Vincent as Dechelette. (The Billboard, December 21, 1912, pg 43)

1913



In 1913 Holubar got interested in motion pictures and appeared in some Essanay productions, whose directors are mostly unknown today. Theodore Warton was one of them, he directed Holubar in the adventure-drama "Into the North", a two-reeler, where Holubar played to part of a bank president. The part of a young Indian girl was in the hands of Mary Gwendolyn Strible, better known under the name Dorothy Phillips, or since 1912 Mrs. Allen Holubar. Mrs. Phillips was not only Allen Holubar's leading lady in life, but also in most of his motion pictures, starred or directed by Holubar.

«Allen Holubar hails from San Francisco, but claims the entire United States as his tramping ground. At present, however, he seems to be permanently located at Universal City, where he has finished the big role of Princer Daker (after Captain Nemo), in the "Twenty Thousand Leages Under the Sea" picture directed by Stewart Paton. The making of this picture has taken fourteen months and took Mr. Holubar from he East into the West Indies and just recently out to Universal City. Since coming to "U" City he has found time to write, direct and appear in several one-reel pictures, amonng the being "Any Youth," in which Dorothy Phillips played the lead. While "The Health Road," "The Nemesis" and "Ashes of Remembrances" are other recent one-reel pictures directed by Mr. Holubar. Mr. Holubar began his theatrical work as leading man for T. Daniel Frawley in San Francisco. In the East he had a prominent role in "The Girl of the Golden West," as produced by David Belasco, and also in the William Brady production, "The Man of the Hour." He also was prominent in the Savage production "Everywoman," and two years ago became a member of the Eastern Universal. Mr. Holubar intends to make the coast his home indefinitely.» (The New York Dramatic Mirror, August 5, 1916, pg 34)

Julius Stern Recommends List of Universal Pictures - Company Triples Scenario Staff Since Opening Studios at Universal Heights, New Jersey, and Increases Acting Staff — Subjects Show Marked Improvement
WITH a dozen directors at work on the stage, Universal Heights, New Jersey, is today in point of footage produced and number of directors one of the most active of all Eastern studios.
The staff of directors, under the general direction of Producing Manager Julius Stern, comprises Ben Wilson, Lucius Henderson, Harry C. Myers, Henry Otto, Stuart Paton, Edwin Stevens, W. J. Kelly, Robert Hill, William Garwood, Allan Holubar, Matt Moore and Rex Ingram.
"The improvement in Eastern Universal pictures upon our moving into the new studios," said Manager Stern, "was apparent almost with the first picture taken there. Lighting, settings, photography — there has been no question about the improvement. (The Motion Picture News, March 4, 1916, page 1313)

«Henry Otto, who directed the Bluebird photoplay "Undine," was transferred to the Universal studios at Universal Heights, N. J., to direct King Baggot, but as he had to wait two weeks before he could start in, he produced several one-reelers to keep his hand in trim.

His first effort was "Behind the Curtain," a drama written by Robert Thomas Hardy, managing editor of Snappy Stories, in which Dorothy Phillips and Alan Holubar were featured.

This marked the return of Mr. Holubar on the program releases of the Universal, as he is now taking the leading role in the new Williamson submarine pictures, on which he has been engaged the past seven months, and will be tied down with them for several months more.» (Motion Picture News, March 18, 1916, pg 1607)

And just to make the day's [ May 23, 1916] program an A-l tip-topper no less a personage than Bernard McFadden, of physical culture fame, will appear with Allen Holubar in a strong-arm light comedy, "The Health Road," which will have the brand burned into it.

«Allen Holubar, Universal director of the eastern studios, has been transferred to " U " City, and last week took up the making of the first subject here, a one reel picture entitled " Any Youth." Director Holubar was accompanied by Dorothy Phillips who has been the star of his company in the east. " Any Youth " is of an allegorical nature which deals with the conflict between the better and baser self of the average human being. Holubar, Hector Sarno and Dorothy Phillips are the principals.» (Motion Picture News, June 3, 1916, pg 3391)

Early Summer of 1916 Universal's Boss Carl Laemmle decided to close down most of his company's activities in the East and to concentrate the production in the new expanding Universal City in Burbank. Reducing the overhead costs may have been one of the main reasons, but also enforcing control over the production units that had enjoyed a rather liberal regime in Forth Lee was a good reason for this decision. Some minor production units remained in the East, but by now the production site on the Hudson was rapidly approaching his downfall. Allen Holubar was among those leaving new the foggy Eastern cpats for the sunny Californian HQ's.

Removal of 'U'' Studios to West Definitely Decided IT has now been definitely decided to transfer all the eastern producing companies of Universal to the west and hereafter all pictures of the company, with the exception of a very small minority, calling for a New York City atmosphere, will be made at Universal City, Cal. President Carl Laemmle formally announced this plan last week. (...) It is computed that $8,000 a week will be saved by the shift. Heretofore the expenses of the Fort Lee, N. J., plant have totaled $12,000 a week. At Universal City, where all the overhead expense is concentrated, the same companies may work with the comparatively small expenditure of $4,000 for the same length of time. (...) Some of the eastern producing companies are already on their way to the coast. Director Matt Moore's company, headed by Jane Gail and himself, left on Monday, May 29 ; Director Rex Ingram and his company left the Saturday before, while Stuart Paton with a company headed by Dorothy Phillips and Alan Holubar, are already at work at Universal City.

«Allen Holubar, who was assigned to filming the three-reel subject “A Gentleman and a Soldier,” from the story of the same title by Robert H. Davis, was advised when settings were ready for the production, that error had been made with respect to rights on the story. He secured permission to use the settings and people assigned to him, and in thirty minutes had a synopsis written, and began making “ A Taint of Fear,” without working script.

A gentleman crook story which ends with the expose of a wager of a popular clubman to play the part of Raffles at a big social function, is being filmed under the title “The Shadow” by Allen Holubar, who plays the gentleman crook.

Director Allen Holubar has completed his character sketch two-reel picture, “The Old Toy-Maker,” in which he takes the leading role, that of a German who came to America. His wife and child who followed later, were lost at sea. He made a doll to resemble, as nearly as he could remember, his little daughter, and he comes to worship this, especially in his dreams. This makes possible a number of fade-ins, which show a story of the heart throb type.

1917



(...) Good as his work has been, he himself declares that it will be much better, as he is just beginning to get into his stride. He and his talented and charming little wife have a pleasant bungalow home in Hollywood, and are thankful, after their years on the legitimate stage, to be able to spend quiet evenings. Both of them are unremitting workers at the studio, and the fact that they are both great favorites with the public, keeps them constantly occupied. They have appeared in only one production together, for both are opposed to husband and wife acting in the same company, as they think that the public loses interest in a married couple. But they discuss all their work together, and each is the other's severest critic. Their friends say that there is no pleasanter home on the Coast than that of the Holubars, and they have an ever growing circle of acquaintances. Holubar is an acknowledged master of make-up, and this is a never-failing topic of discussion between them. It is rarely that an actress has such problems of facial disguise, but Dorothy Phillips proved in "The Girl in the Checkered Coat" that she has profited by her husband's expert coaching in the fascinating art of screen make-up. (The Moving Picture Weekly, May 12, 1917, pg 15)

1918

March 2, 1918, pg 1311) Allen Holubar, Universal director, was this week made an honorary member of “ Fragments of France,” a club organized in Los Angeles by returning Allied soldiers. He was given this honor because of the popularity of “ Carry On,” a film-play produced under his direction.

This feature will be the biggest and most impressive Universal ever made.» (The Motion Picture News, December 28, 1918, pg 3910)

1919



1919 marked a major change in the Universal production setup. The popular labels "Bluebird," "Butterfy" and "Red Feathers" are being given up and disappeared from the marketing desks of the exhibitors. Films were now branded as "Jewel" or "Universal Special." Among those productions who were initially produced as "Bluebirds" is Holubar's "The Mortgaged Wife" with Dorothy Phillips and William Stowell, another film who did not survive.

«Holubar Ill. Allen Holubar, producer of "The Heart of Humanity" has returned to Universal City, and is now confined to his home because of a severe attack of influenza.» (Wid's Film Daily, January 8, 1919)

Miss Phillips and Mr. Holubar were stricken while en route from New York. (Variety, January 24, 1919, pg 49)

«Dorothy Phillips was stricken with the "flu" while nursing friend husband, Al Holubar, on their return from New York. Mr. Holubar is now out of danger, but considerable apprehension is felt for his charming wife. (Wid's Film Daily, January 123, 1919) Dorothy Phillips and Alan Holubar were to have spent a day or so in Kansas City on their way back to the West coast, but on account of Mr. Holubar's illness they only stayed a few hours.

HOLUBAR'S STATEMENT. Mr. Holubar made his first statement Concerning his relations with Universal through his attorney, Neil S. McCarthy, this week.. He said: "The contract which Universal executed with me contains the following clause: 'It is further understood and agreed that all advertising matter and posters of pictures made under this agreement shall bear the following inscriptions Produced under the direction of Allen Holubar.'
"Universal did not comply with this term of its agreement. "Universal also failed to live up to the following clause: 'All original scripts written by the Employee and accepted by the Employer to be paid for at mutually agreeable rates.'
"With reference to. this clause, Universal even denied at one time that I was the author of 'The Right to Happiness'. It now admits that I am the author, yet it has failed, after repeated demands for me, to pay me for the same.
"Furthermore, after I had produced 'The Heart of Humanity,' Mr. Laemmle threatened that if I did not sign the contract which he claims exists between us at the present time, that he would deprive me of all credit and publicity for the production of 'The Heart of Humanity;" a picture into the making of which I had put my heart and soul.
"Mr. Laemmle, in his article, claims this contract to be 'as honest and fair an agreement as was ever written.' On the contrary, it is not mutual, and is unjust, for it contains the following clauses: "The Employee further agrees that he will direct as directed by the Employer, in and for the production of plays and scenes to be produced upon any brand or brands of moving picture film now manufactured or which hereafter may be manufactured by the Employer or otherwise, and such services being matters of art and taste, and subject to changing conditions, agrees to perform and render the same to the full satisfaction of the Employer at all times and that he will perform such services wherever required or desired as the Employer may direct, or find necessary of convenient in or to the staging of plays or scenes for such moving picture productions.
The Employee further agrees that if, for any reason, the obligations, nndertaKings, covenants and conditions herein set forth, and on his part to be performed, or any of the same, shall not be kept, carried out and performed in a manner satisfactory to. the Employer, then and in. that event the Employer, at its option, may declare this contract terminated, and all rights of the Employee thereunder shall thereupon cease and determine, saving his right to compensation for any and all time during which services shall have been' actually performed as aforesaid.' § "Universal has been in the motion picture business for many years, and certainly knows the effect of these clauses, providing that my services must be satisfactory to it. The effect of these clauses is that it reserved to. itself the right to "terminate the agreement at any time it so desired, yet would deny the same right to the other party to the contract. I had no knowledge of the effect of these clauses until after Universal had broken the contract and I sought redress for this breach. "In justice to other producers I believe that Universal is the only company that continues to issue what is known as 'satisfactory clause contracts.'
"If this contract is not mutual, then there is certainly nothing binding between us. If, on the other hand, it could be assumed that the contract is binding, yet nevertheless, Universal was the first' to break it.
"Miss Dorothy Phillips contract specifically provides that she shall be required to work under the direction of no other direction than Allen Holubar, unless it is mutually agreed between her and Universal that she shall do so. Yet, because Miss Phillips has persisted in maintaining this position, Universal has refued to pay her any salary since Universal broke. Allen Holubar's contract and he ceased the actual directing of productions for them."

While engaged in filming the scenes for „The Human Mill“ in the mountainous sections of Tennessee, Mr. Holubar contracted an illness that six weeks ago made a major operation necessary. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, and after apparently recovering from the shock of the operation was removed to his home. Until his sudden death this morning, he was apparently convalescing, according to his physicians.
Since the director's illness, Miss Phillips and his mother have been constantly at his bedside. Both are said to be prostrated with grief. (...)
„The Human Mill“ was to be the first of three independent procutions for Metro release. For atmospheric scenes he went with his company to Nashville, Tennessee, about three months ago. More than a thousand miles of riding through the mountains of Tennessee in securing locations for the filming of what was said would be his greatest achievement, is believed by relatives to have broken his health. Following his directing of fillming the battle of Franklin, one of the big scenes of the picture, he was confined to his bed at Nashville for two weeks. His illness was kept from the public and he returned to Hollywood, where he worked for ten days before again being compelled to stop production. It is understood that Mr. Holubar's fatal illness dated from the time of his sickness at Nashville.
Besides his widow and mother, Mr. Holubar is survived by an 8-year-old daughter, Gwendolin-Dorthy, and two sisters and a brother residing in San Francisco. (...) (The Los Angeles Times, November 21, 1923, pg 25)

Allen Holubar Is Dead (Special to Exhibitors Herald) Los Angeles, Nov. 20. [1923] — Allen Holubar, one of the best known and talented directors in the motion picture industry, died this afternoon at St. Vincent Hospital. His wife, Dorothy Phillips, was at his bedside. He was taken sick at Nashville, Tenn., while directing '"The Human Mill" for Metro, and was brought back to Hollywood for a major operation. (Exhibitors Herald, December 1, 1923, pg 23)

Allen Holubar Dies at Los Angeles Home Allen Holubar, one of the most prominent of film directors, died at his home in Los Angeles after a six weeks' illness following an operation. He is survived by his wife, known professionally as Dorothy Phillips; a daughter. Gwendolyn, and his mother. - He was taken ill soon after beginning work on " Human Mills," which was to be the first of a series of four pictures for Metro. Allen Holubar was born in San Francisco in 1889. After a successful career on the stage in stock and repertoire companies, he joined Universal in 1914 and appeared in several pictures, among them " Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." He became a director for Universal and made, among others. " The Heart of Humanity " and " The Right to Happiness." For First National he directed a series of pictures, notably " Man. Woman. Marriage " and " Hurricane's Gal." For Goldwyn he made " Broken Chains." (Motion Picture News, December 1, 1923, pg 2549)

A Fine Fellow Gone - Allen Holubar, Who passed away early in the week, was a mighty fine fellow. (Wid's Film Daily, November 25, 1923, pg 10)

One of our number has passed from our midst. He has gone, leaving behind him a record of splendid achievements in the profession and a beloved memory that we shall cherish for all time to come. These things that he has bequeathed to us speak more eloquently of him than any mere words of ours might. He has answered the call of the Great Director on whose Set we must all appear sooner or later, and he has been taken from us in the prime of his manhood, standing upon the threshold of great success. With a sense of duty that was rare and tenacity that was amazing he sacrificed all to complete his task. To Allan Holubar, gentleman and motion picture director, "Camera!" pays full tribute. He was an asset to his profession and one who commanded respect from his fellowmen. To the bereaved family we extend our sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy and express our desire to he of any possible assistance now and in time to come. (Camera!, November 24, 1923, pg 5)

Allen Holubar Statements



We have not traced books or manuscripts by Allen Holubar about film-making or about his career, so there are only a few lines of his writings that have survived. Nevertheless we thought they should be included in this brief account of his life and films.

Al Holubar claims the dove should not be the symbol of peace. He petted, and coaxed — yes, he cursed — one the other day when he needed two feet showing it flying away, and exposed four hundred. (The Motion Picture News, January 27, 1917)

Theme Is Vital

Allen Holubar Declares Films Lacking Sincerity Will Not Reach Goal - Studies Music To Attain Valued Quality By Allen Holubar
«Every shadow play to be successful must have a theme running through it the same as a motif in music or poetry. The great music masters, Beethoven and Chopin, interpreted their themes through the ear; the shadow play must do this through the eye, yet without giving the same identical effect to the senses. To gain a correct idea of what the great music masters' themes or thought processesave looked up their biographical or autobiographical sketches to ascertain what their feelings were at the time when they composed their work. In this manner, it is easy to interpret joy, sorrow, pathos and at just the exact shades with the lights and shadows that the master intended. This work of the great music masters has been a great help to me in producing screen dramas. In the theme of mother love, running through the 'Heart of Humanity,' I introduced the intangible, indescribable quality, often called the sixth sense, a mother's intuition. All her sons were killed in battle and yet before they departed she intuitively knew they were in danger. There was also an episode, showing for the first time, how the mother felt near her the presence of the spiritualistic departed sons.
I do not believe any screen drama can be highly successful unless the director firmly believes in the sincerity of the theme in his efforts. If the theme lacks sincerity, the play cannot live.» (Exhibitors Herald, March 13, 1920, pg 92)

High Class Production Needed

Believe present tendency toward pessimism in industry principally remit of hysteria, the resultant reaction from inflated war conditions and also due to recent political transitions. Production is greater than ever not in quantity, however, but in quality. The change is due to the developed public taste that now demands only the finest in photoplays. The exhibitor is conscious of this demand and his selection is, and will be keener. And the producer who will survive the coming season will also be conscious of this demand and meet it. High class production in any business will always find a big market. ALLEN HOLUBAR. (The Wid's Daily Film, November 20, 1920, pg 3)

Where Stage and Screen Part

Holubar Points Out That in Scenic Requirements They Are Widely Separated
ALTHOUGH the stage and the screen may be closely allied in some of their phases, such as relate to plot and dramatic action, they are as far removed as the poles in the matter of scenic requirements. The stage attempts to create an illusion, while the screen faithfully mirrors nature.
This statement was made by Allen Holubar of Universal who is one of the directors in the motion picture world who have achieved the highest success.
"Since Edward Gordon Craig [Note: 1872 - 1966, English modernist Theatre Director and Designer] introduced the new impressionistic art to the theatre there have been many theories — some sensible and others pure buncombe — advanced and tried out in connection with stage settings and lighting effects. Some have proved practical for the theatre and others were quickly discarded. Some of the innovations appealed to the theatrical producers because of their economy of construction and transportation, while they pleased an audience because of their absolute simplicity — a relief from the elaborate productions to which the managers of the realistic school had accustomed them.
However, none of these innovations apply to the motion picture production, for, as I have before pointed out, the screen and the stage differ fundamentally so far as the settings are concerned. Stage settings for the spoken drama must convince only the human eye, which may be easily deceived. A certain combination of lights on certain plain backgrounds may create an illusion that will satisfy in the theatre. Canvas and paint may be made to give the effect of reality. But the stage setting for the motion picture must be made for the camera lens, which is a thousand times more keen than the human eye. Nothing but Nature, pure and unalloyed can be employed for the motion picture.
Anything else would be so palpably unreal as to excite laughter instead of admiration.
Rippling lights will never suggest Niagara Falls on the screen, nor a deep shadow a forest. If we must have a cataract on the screen, it must be the real article or an actual reproduction. No half-way measures will deceive the eye of the camera. (The Motion Picture News, October 4, 1919, pg 2818)

Holubar's Difficulties

on the exhausting problem of film-making "It is not the thousand and one details that prey upon the mental energy of a director," director Alan Holubar said in speaking of his experience in directing the amazonian scenes for his coming production. "What annoys a man responsible for the result of a big expenditure is that people employed at $10.00 per day do not attempt to follow instructions or worse still, try to get out of doing anything after once they secure their time order with the costume order in the morning."
"A big movie camp is a genuine melting pot," Mr. Holubar continued, "and it is impossible to congregate hundreds of people for this class of work unless such a melting pot is brought together. In the 800 people working in the amazonian period scenes we had everything from a college professor to a red, red Bolshevik, all creeds, all nationalities and people with all degrees of ambition. Such a horde cannot be handled with the same discipline as an army for numerous reasons, and while we introduced army tactics in our organization and attempts at discipline, we found our work each time greatly handicapped by the scores who would leave their posts and wander away into some secluded spot to avoid the action assigned them. At meal time they were always there — sometimes twice and when pay checks were issued they had no scruples about falling in line the second time. It is unfortunate that this condition exists but it cannot be avoided — it is one of the features in film production where mobs are required that add hundreds of dollars in expense every hour. It required nine days to make the scenes which in the final release will consist of not more than 600 feet and the cost for the production of this nears the 100,000 dollar mark." (The Motion Picture News, September 25, 1920, pg 2488)

Ex-Stars Tell Why They Like Directing


(Editor's Note: King Baggot and Allen Holubar, who herewith present their views on this subject, both attained stardom in histrionic roles. Baggot was a famous screen actor and Holubar a matinee idol on the speaking stage.) By ALLEN HOLUBAR
While I enjoy my daily life as a director and producer, it would be folly for me to say that I do not miss some of the joys of an actor's life, for there is a glamor about the speaking stage that never can be forgotten. Even screen stars declare that they miss the inspiration given by an applauding audience, but they do come into contact with the public in a way that is denied the director-producer.
The latter must be content to get what admiration comes in his way mostly by proxy, for he seldom comes into direct contact with the public. But, like the unseen general who plans and directs the battle, he gets his need of praise if he is successful and his measure of condemnation if he isn't.
An actor on the speaking stage has to retain a keen memory aslong with his looks if he wants to maintain his popularity. He must be full of life and ever ready to fulfill the demands that are made upon him. He is constantly changing his sleeping quarters and his food, if he is on the road, and that works a hardship.
But as a director-producer, a man may settle down just like in any other business and build for the futire. He has to devote much of his leisure attention to studying what will please the public, but he 'get's it over' in a different way and is not so susceptible to the proverbial fickleness of mankind.
Then, again, the director-producer finds a pleasure that is denied the star of the speaking stage. He cannot see himself act, but the man who makes a picture can see his handiwork in every scene, which is a privilege as well as a pleasure. Aside from the artistic side, also, there is the material fact that a director-producer can make more out of a few good pictures than a star could out of his life work. (Oakland Tribune, August 12, 1923, pg 60)
