After working at Stetson's Globe Theatre in Boston, Lawson came to New York where he worked on Broadway from 1915-1922, including productions at the New York Hippodrome, where he was on staff. Lawson was also a member of the Lambs Club. He died in New York City. Original color set designs with 2 pencil sketches by Mark Lawson.
