Harry Benham — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Harry Benham is running Eddie Foy a close race, for Harry and his family are well nigh as popular, and a whole lot better known, than Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys.

Harry is said to be the one actor in the business who is married, and has a family, and don’t “give a whoop” who knows it.

In fact, after his own acting, Harry’s claim to public recognition is that selfsame family, for the Benham family is the only family that performs in its entirety in pictures.

They all work in Thanhouser films, the wife, Ethyle Cooke, little Leland and Baby Dorothy, and a happier, better natured, wholly contented family you couldn’t find anywhere.

Mr. Benham was a musical comedy favorite for many years before entering the picture studio, and of late has been associated with Maude Fealy in the majority of her multiple reel productions, though he appears in numerous single reel subjects.
