In 1914, a young midwesterner quit his railroad job to crack the
Hollywood motion picture boom. Impressed by his energy and honesty
in his role as Lincoln, D.W. Griffith made him his assistant for
Intolerance. Griffith then made Joe a director. He swiftly
progressed to a preeminent position in the industry, directing some
of the biggest Hollywood stars of the 1920's including Douglas
Fairbanks, Fatty Arbuckle, and Rudolph Valentino. Versatility
played an important role in Joe's rich creative life inside the
studios. His understanding of the mechanics of motion-picture film
led him to develop and be granted a patent for teaching speech to
the deaf by visualizing sound. He pioneered sound short-subjects
for the Vitaphone Studios in Brooklyn and later directed WWII
training films for the Army Signal Corps in Astoria. Henabery
contributed, not only as a director, but also as a researcher,
writer, make-up artist/actor, architect, scenic designer, and
special-effects innovator. His autobiography, Before, In and After
Hollywood was completed in 1975 shortly before his death. Contains
24 black and white photographs.
