Della Connor — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Delia Connor, whose blonde locks and attractive smile grace so many Pathé comedies, was born in Boston, the city of culture.

She was educated in the public schools of that city, and through her sister, Mildred Barry, a vaudeville artiste, went on the stage.

Her first engagement was with Lederer’s Sally in our Alley. At that time she was only 14 years old. She was then at the Herald Square Theater, New York for four years with the Fields. Two years at the Casino followed, this time as ingénue with Sam Bernard. Then came an engagement with Gus Edwards in The Matinee Idol.

Moving pictures then claimed her and she came to Jersey City to be a member of the Pathé stock company.

Miss Connor finds her most congenial work in comedies and it is in that field that she stars with Pathé.
