The Marietta Daily Times, December 2, 1922
Born right here in Marietta, Ohio, educated on the stage, hardened on the sea and strengthened by an extensive experience as ranchman, boxer, and wrestler. Such, in brief, is the history of Hobart Bosworth, star of "The Sea Lion," that is being shown at the Hippodrome today.
Bosworth's early stage career saw his playing in company with such famous actresses as Henrietta Crossman, Amelia Bingham and Julia Marlowe; and the experience gained during this portion of his life was invaluable to him later on.
During succeeding years, when his health threatened to break down, he turned to an outdoor existence, gaining his living on the sea, in the valleys of the west and the rings of California. The training he gained from his pugilistic experience has stood him in good stead for almost all his pictures show him in the role of a masterful character who wins his way to the top by sheer physical prowess.
Such a role is supplied Bosworth in his present production. "The Sea Lion" mingles love interest and vivid heart appeal with its combats. Nela Nelson, the character Bosworth portrays, is after all, intensely human; and the pent-up emotion finds relief in the thrilling climax that brings to him the realization of his wife's undeviating love.
