Wendell Phillips Smalley (August 7, 1865 – May 2, 1939) was an American silent film director and actor. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Smalley began his career in vaudeville and acted in more than 200 films between 1910 until his death in 1939. He began directing in 1911 and they made more than 300 films between then and 1921. Smalley was married to actress, writer, director, and producer Lois Weber from April 29, 1904 to 1922.〔Ancestry.com. Cook County, Illinois, Marriages Index, 1871-1920 (on-line ).

In 1908 Smalley and Weber began working for the U.S. division of Gaumont Film Company, where Smalley was an actor, and later a director. He is sometimes listed as a co-director with Lois Weber, and the extent of his contribution to her work is unresolved. Phillips Smalley died in 1939 and is interred next to his second wife Phyllis Lorraine Ephlin in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood Hills. ==Selected Filmography== * ''Leaves in the Storm'' (1912) * ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' (1913) * ''Trimmed in Scarlet'' (1923) * ''Sensation Seekers'' (1927) * ''The Irresistible Lover'' (1927) * ''The Dice Woman'' (1928) * ''Romance of the Underworld'' (1928) * ''The Midnight Special'' (1930) * ''A Day at the Races'' (1937) * ''Bulldog Drummond's Revenge'' (1937) * ''The Lady Objects'' (1938) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phillips Smalley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
