Like so many famous actors and ac-
tresses, Richard Barthelmess was born
amid strange and foreign surroundings
New York City, of an American
mother and an American father.
At the age of sixteen he made his
first appearance in "Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch" where he played hap
PLY with little Mabel Taliaferro.
His first appearance was with q
wooden leg. His latest appearance is
with the silkcn-tighted ones of Prince
| Charming--the Prince Charming who
has made every one who saw "Thc
Seven Swans" wish that they might
play the part assigned to Marguerite
Clark.
He went to Manor School, Stamford,
Conn.,, where he took q lively interest
in all outdoor sports, including (delet-
ed by censor).
During vacations he played in stock
companies and it was there that he re-
ceived his wonderful training which
has made it possible for him to accom-
plish what he has accomplished on the
screen. During his stock apprentice
ship he played every part which was
not filled; sometimes essayng roles
which called for wrinkles and gray
boards, and sometimes (deleted by
censor.)
Eventually he went to Trinity Col
lege and remained there for three
years. About that time Nazimova be-
came a War Bride and Richard--they
called him Dick then--found himself
playing Arno, the youngest son of the
ily. Dick was killed in "War Brides, :"
thereby winning favorable comment
from the critics, who always praise the
dead
Then he was cast in "The Eternal
SIM" being one OF the supporting sim
ners of Florence Reed. She gave him
poison and he died again. But by this
time his audiences were beginning to
look for him and they demanded that
ne appear in part where he might
remain until the final fadeaway.
So he went to Pathes "Strcets of
Illusion" and travelled them with
Gladys Hulette
Having survived all this, he went to
play with Nine. Olga Petrova, and, at
ter rather narrowing experience
with "The Soul of Magdalene,"
