For the next twenty years Warwick appeared in such plays as '' Anna Karenina'' (1906), ''Two Women'' (1910), with Mrs. Leslie Carter; and ''The Kiss Waltz'' (1911) and ''Miss Prince'' (1912), in both of which he was able to display his singing voice. He also appeared in ''The Secret'' (1913), ''A Celebrated Case'' (1915) and ''Drifting'' (1922) with Alice Brady, not to mention several other plays through the end of the 1920s.

Film career

Warwick started making silent films in 1914, with his early work including ''The Mad Lover'', ''A Modern Othello'' and ''Thou Art the Man''. He made numerous productions in the 1910s primarily in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Two films, '' Alias Jimmy Valentine'' and ''A Girl's Folly'', both directed by Maurice Tourneur, have been preserved, and showcase Warwick as a silent actor, as well as Tourneur's directing talent. Both are available in the 21st century on home video. From the 1920s on, Warwick alternated doing plays and silent films. He was fifty when sound films arrived, and though middle aged and with his matinee idol looks fading, he found plenty of work in character roles, much enhanced by his rich, resonant voice, eloquent diction, and aristocratic manner. When the studios moved to
