Herbert Rawlinson — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Herbert Rawlinson is the very last word in the haberdasher’s art.

It is quite an honor to have him tie somebody’s tie for somebody, and it has been intimated that, on such an occasion, the somebody sits up all night with the tie on in order to preserve his dress-up distinction for the next day.

Rawlinson is by no means a “dandy,” however, as his spickness is quite as natural as his cheery smile, which is ever ready to develop into a laugh, notwithstanding the fact that he started life in London, England.

He went to school in France, then came to America, where he lost his “kid foolishness” in circus experience, which led to theatrical work in big productions and big cities. He managed the Belasco house at Los Angeles last season, in the middle of which he was engaged by the Selig company, and now adds to the general popularity of western films by his work as juvenile lead.
