Arthur Edmund Carewe , was an Armenian-American actor in the silent and early sound film era. Born Hovsep Hovsepian in Trabzon , Ottoman Empire,... Carewe was from a prosperous family in his native country. His father, Garo, was engaged in the banking business and carried some influence from his positions in the national legislature and board of education. Garo Hovsepian died in 1882, and the Hamidian massacres eventually forced the Hovsepian family to emigrate. Carewe came to the United States on August 7, 1896, arriving in New York Harbor on the Augusta Victoria, having departed from Cherbourg. He was accompanied by his elder brother, Ardasches. Another elder brother, Garo Armen, had preceded them, and their mother arrived the following year. He went to High School at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts, after which he studied painting and sculpture. At the turn of the century, he and Garo ran a rug and furnishings business in New York City. He decided upon a stage career and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, graduating in March 1904 with the David Belasco Gold Medal for Dramatic Ability.
