A. Edward Sutherland

A. Edward Sutherland

A. Edward Sutherland (January 5, 1895 - December 31, 1973) was a film director and actor. Born in London, he was from a theatrical family. His father was a theatre manager and producer and his mother was a vaudeville performer. He was a nephew of both Blanche Ring and Thomas Meighan. [Bary Paris, 1990, "Louise Brooks", Anchor Books, p. 147] Sutherland acted in 37 known films early in his career, beginning as a Keystone Cop in 1914's "Tillie's Punctured Romance" opposite Charles Chaplin.

He was directed by Charles Chaplin in "A Woman of Paris" in 1923, two years before Sutherland began his directing career with the help of Chaplin.

It is as a director that he is best known, and he directed over 50 movies between 1925 and 1956. His breakout film was "Behind the Front" (1926) which made stars of the two leads and established Sutherland as a comedic director. [Paris, p. 148] Frequently billed as "Eddie Sutherland," he is often noted for having an especially hard time working with Stan Laurel whom he disliked ("I'd rather eat a tarantula than work with Laurel again"), while becoming close friends with the more famously acerbic W.C. Fields, with whom he established a lifelong friendship.Fact|date=March 2008

Sutherland was married five times. Among his wives were Marjorie Daw and Louise Brooks (from July 1926 to June 1928). He and Brooks met on the set of "It's the Old Army Game", which he directed.
