Biography

[edit]

Holmes was born Joseph Liebchen on March 10, 1884, in Chicago, Illinois, where he was educated.[1]

For 20 years, Holmes performed in vaudeville and on stage, with the latter often being in Shakespeare's plays. His work in the theater included a stint in Germany.[1]

Holmes's film career began in 1911 and ended with The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).

As a sculptor, Holmes created work for at least three California United States post offices — in Oceanside (1936), Claremont (1937), and Bell (1937).[2]
