James Wesley Horne (December 14, 1881 – June 29, 1942) was an American actor, screenwriter, and film director.
Horne was among the most talented American directors of serials during years encompassing World War I, a period in which these cinematic “chapter plays’ were both critically acclaimed and lucrative.[2]
