Milton George Gustavus Sills (January 12, 1882 â€" September 15, 1930)

was an American stage and film actor of the early twentieth

century.Sills was born in Chicago, Illinois into a wealthy family. He

was the son of William Henry Sills, a successful mineral dealer, and

Josephine Antoinette Troost Sills, an heiress from a prosperous

banking family. Upon completing high school, Sills was offered a

one-year scholarship to the University of Chicago, where he studied

psychology and philosophy. After graduating, he was offered a position

at the university as a researcher and within several years worked his

way up to become a professor at the school.In 1905, stage actor Donald

Robertson visited the school to lecture on author and playwright

Henrik Ibsen and suggested to Sills that he try his hand at acting. On

a whim, Sills agreed and left his teaching career to embark on a stint

in acting. Sills joined Robertson's stock theater company and began

touring the country.In 1908, while Sills was performing in New York

City, he attracted the notice of Broadway producers such as David

Belasco and Charles Frohman. That same year he made his Broadway debut

in This Woman and This Man. From 1908 to 1914, Sills appeared in about

a dozen Broadway shows.
