John Ince, also known as John E. Ince, (August 29, 1878 – April 10, 1947) was an American stage and motion pictures actor, a film director, and the eldest brother of Thomas H. Ince and Ralph Ince.

A leading man from the early 1910s, he also directed and scripted several of his own vehicles. Concentrating almost exclusively on directing from 1915 through 1928, Ince returned before the cameras as a character actor in the early years of the talkies.

Biography

John Ince est un acteur et réalisateur américain, dont la carrière débuta pendant la période du cinéma muet, alors qu'il continua sa carrière d'acteur après l'avènement du parlant.

Il arrive à Hollywood en 1912 alors que ses deux frères, Thomas H. Ince et de Ralph Ince, tous deux réalisateurs, acteurs, scénaristes et producteurs, l’y ont précédé de plusieurs années.
Il commence sa carrière d’acteur, entre autres, dans une version muette de Richard III (?), puis en 1911, il devient scénariste et réalisateur. Les 33 films qu’il réalisera seront pour l’essentiel des drames mais il signera aussi quelques films d’aventures comme Black Feather en 1928.

Avec le cinéma parlant, il reprend sa carrière d’acteur avec des seconds rôles comme celui du Père Mapple dans Jim le harponneur. En 1932, on le retrouve dans celui d’un juge dans la première version de Destry Rides Again, puis en 1934 aux côtés de John Wayne dans Le Texan chanceux et l’année suivante dans Texas Terror.
Dans le même temps que ses apparitions dans des westerns de série B, on le retrouve dans de petits rôles aux côtés de Clark Gable (L'Appel de la forêt 1935), James Stewart (Monsieur Smith au Sénat 1939) et Gary Cooper (L'Homme de la rue 1941).

Il s’éteint le 10 avril 1947 des suites d’une pneumonie mais les caprices de la distribution permettront de le retrouver dans Gun Cargo en 1949.

Set in 1761 in London, the film focuses on events at St. Mary's of Bethlehem Asylum, a fictionalized version of Bethlem Royal Hospital, also known as "Bedlam." After an acquaintance of aristocrat Lord Mortimer dies in an attempt to escape from the asylum, apothecary general Master George Sims (played by Karloff, a fictionalized version of an infamous head physician at Bethlem, John Monro) appeases Mortimer by having his "loonies" put on a show for him. Mortified by the treatment of the patients, Mortimer's protégé Nell Bowen (Lee) seeks the help of Whig politician John Wilkes to reform the asylum. Mortimer and Sims conspire to commit Nell to the asylum, where her initial fears of the fellow inmates do not sway her sympathetic commitment to improving their conditions. Frustrated by Nell's progress with the inmates, Sims threatens her with his strongest "cure" but his attempt is thwarted by the very inmates that Nell helped. Ultimately, Sims is literally "deposed" and Nell is rescued by her Quaker friend who had counselled her through the whole process.
