MARBLE FAMILY

The Marbles are less known than other American acting dynasties like theBooths, the Barrymores, or Chapmans because the Marble family remained devoted to repertory in the Midwest. Dan and Anna (Warren) Marble had four children in the profession during the modernist era: William "Billy" (1840-1912), John (1844-1919), Edward (1846-1900), and Emma (1848-1930). Edward's daughter Anna (1880-1946) was a playwright andpress agent, who marriedChanning Pollock.
