About
Dan Sayre Groesback had studied the arts and illustration before going into film, and by 1904 was an illustration artist for newspaper and book publishers in Chicago and New York. From 1913-1917, Sayre first stepped onto the Hollywood scene in 1923 when he made biblical drawings for costumes for The Ten Commandments (1923) and King of Kings (1927), both directed by Cecil B DeMille. It was through this connection that Sayre continued working in film designing costumes, character sketches, and promotional illustrations. Some of his other films included Union Pacific (1939) and Samson and Delilah (1948).
