Berthelet is remembered particularly for having directed William Gillette - noted as the definitive early Sherlock Holmes - in his only filmed performance as the great detective - and controversial feminist Mary MacLane in her silent movie Men Who Have Made Love to Me.
Gillette was the son of Senator Francis Gillette and Elisabeth Daggett Hooker, a descendant of Rev. Thomas Hooker, and the brother of actor/playwright William Gillette.
The play ran for two weeks, when Chaplin was given the part of Billy, the page boy of Sherlock Holmes in William Gillette's play Sherlock Holmes, in which the title role was again played by Saintsbury.
He was an award-winning sports writer and sports editor of the Delaware State News in Dover, Delaware, before embarking on a career in Federal government human resources.
