           This artifact is of john in his film An American Citizen. This is important to his career because it was his first confirmed film.  The film was made with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company. The film was released in January 1914. one review said, "delighted movie audiences with an inimitable light touch that made a conventional romance 'joyous'." That's a pretty good review for his first film.
