Digby Bell — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Digby Bell, whose wonderful make up in the character of “Mr. Pipp” in the stage production of “The Education of Mr. Pipp,” has again appeared in this same character in a motion picture production of the same play by the All Star Feature Corporation.

This is also Mr. Bell’s first appearance in motion pictures, but after a trip to Florida and Cuba, where the scenes of the picture were taken, he expressed a keen delight in the new work.

Formerly a tenor in grand opera and later a prominent musical comedy favorite, Mr. Bell has successfully appeared in later days in light comedy roles where he has always been a pronounced favorite among the more popular American actors.

His debut on the stage was made at the Island of Malta, where his success warranted the command to appear before the Duke of Edinburgh.

He is a prominent worker in the Lambs Club.
