William Van Doren Kelley

William Van Doren Kelley was born at Trenton, N. J., March 8, 1876. While a youngster in the Trenton schools, he exhibited a talent for invention and in addition, became interested in theatricals. Thus was laid the foundation for his later activities in the field of the motion picture. His ability as an inventor and his interest in the theater led him to stage acts of magic and illusion with the acumen and showmanship of a much older person.
