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 US post offices as part of the Federal Art Project, in Oceanside (1936), Claremont (1937), and Bell (1937).[2]
