Romaine Fielding

Romaine Fielding (May 22, 1867 – December 15, 1927), was an American actor, screenwriter and silent film director known for his dramatic westerns.

Biography

Fielding was born William Grant Blandin in Iowa. Although without medical training, at one time he ran a medical practice in Kansas City, Missouri. He prospected for gold in Alaska, where he made friends with Jack London and Rex Beach, both of whom would influence his work in films. He also worked as a travel agent, machinist and railway engineer before becoming an actor under the name of Romaine Fielding. He married Mabel van Valkenburg in 1907 but divorced ten years later. He worked and acted in live theatre for a number of years. Fielding worked for the Solax Company of New York before joining Philadelphia-based Lubin Studios in November 1911 at the age of forty-four. Despite his age, he could easily portray much younger characters.

In June 1912 Siegmund Lubin placed Fielding in charge of the Lubin Southwest Company as director, despite the fact that until now he had only acted. This was the start of a rapid rise to fame, where Fielding would write and direct films as well as starring. He broke with convention, challenging stereotypical casting of Indians and Mexicans as villains. His films often ended unexpectedly on a downbeat note. His work was praised in the trade press for its visual beauty combined with realism.

From a series of "found wax recordings" possibly recited by silent film star and director Romaine Fielding, as "pitches" for film stories. Re-creation at Historic Plaza Hotel​ in Las Vegas, NM, featuring Marcus Gottschalk​ . (C) Jim Terr http://www.TentaclesFilm.com THE VAPOURS Wax cylinder transcription by Jim Terr © 2015 “The poor girl had the Vapours”: Often said to diagnose A state of Freud’s “hysteria” or something fairly close. And often said to mock the fairer, so-called “weaker sex” When suffering from unexpected emotional effects. A strange case of The Vapours was recorded not far back, As notable for fine detail preserved as for the lack. The doctor’s journal offers lessons useful in this life Because, you see, the patient was the poor physician’s wife. “Experiencing delusions” was a typical notation, Observed the doctor as if from a far distant location. “Responding well to treatment” was the entry June 19th. “Increase frequency and dosage” was written just beneath. “TREATMENT FOR THE VAPOURS” was the title of the journal. Much raw deceit was drawn therein, but of the truth, a kernel. For one might wonder now if this young man of medicine Was not perhaps a rattlesnake who’d not yet shed his skin. The son of a poor farmer, educated by sheer grit, Qualified in medicine and awfully proud of it, He courted and wed the daughter of a banker, wealth untold, A beauty, kind and sensitive, just 17 years old. Almost at once her various symptoms started to appear: A fantasy, a fainting spell, a stumble there or here. The doctor tended to his wife as only a husband could: A drop of tincture on a cloth might do the patient good! The vapour from the handkerchief, it had an acrid smell. But after all, the sole intent was just to make her well, To give her ease so she could wake and feel more stable later Upon arising from this bout of what they call The Vapours. The method of the cure, however, seemed in some ways worse: Her spinning mind became a nearly constant, nagging curse. More treatment, sequestration, for “The patient quaked and shook,” The doctor one day noted in the pages of his book. Things worked out quite sadly, there is little need to say. The doctor’s efforts came to naught; the patient passed away. He now lives lonely in the house that was their wedding gift, Except when he is comforted by his widow’s younger Sis.

Romaine Fielding

Romaine Fielding (May 22, 1867 – December 15, 1927), was an American actor, screenwriter and silent film director known for his dramatic westerns.

Biography

Fielding was born William Grant Blandin in Iowa. Although without medical training, at one time he ran a medical practice in Kansas City, Missouri. He prospected for gold in Alaska, where he made friends with Jack London and Rex Beach, both of whom would influence his work in films. He also worked as a travel agent, machinist and railway engineer before becoming an actor under the name of Romaine Fielding. He married Mabel van Valkenburg in 1907 but divorced ten years later. He worked and acted in live theatre for a number of years. Fielding worked for the Solax Company of New York before joining Philadelphia-based Lubin Studios in November 1911 at the age of forty-four. Despite his age, he could easily portray much younger characters.

In June 1912 Siegmund Lubin placed Fielding in charge of the Lubin Southwest Company as director, despite the fact that until now he had only acted. This was the start of a rapid rise to fame, where Fielding would write and direct films as well as starring. He broke with convention, challenging stereotypical casting of Indians and Mexicans as villains. His films often ended unexpectedly on a downbeat note. His work was praised in the trade press for its visual beauty combined with realism.
