Frank Farrington — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Frank Farrington, portrayer of the part of Braine in Thanhouser’s “The Million Dollar Mystery,” makes an excellent chief conspirator, and ultimately desires a directorship.

As a matter of fact, the former principal comedian of Lulu Glaser, Fritzi Scheff and many others left the stage with that idea in mind.

Mr. Farrington’s first picture was “Joseph and His Brethren,” the big Thanhouser biblical production, in which he was one of the “bad” brothers, but in “The Adventures of a Diplomatic Free Lance” he paved the way for his remarkable work in the 46-reel serial now running.

He was born in London in the “70’s” and in 1891 appeared before Queen Victoria in Wellington Chambers, Windsor Castle, and gave an entertainment. His kingdom is his home, where Mrs. Farrington and his two daughters, Doris, aged 9, and Reenie, 17, are his “pals.”
