Jack Richardson — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Jack Richardson is the man who robs, steals and plunders, not to mention “framing up” deals and misrepresenting himself and conditions to “the girl,” and dying numberless deaths — week after week — out in Santa Barbara, Cal., all for the entertainment of lovers of “Flying A” pictures.

But Jack Richardson, heavy man, and Jack Richardson, Esq., are entirely dissimilar, for, ‘tis said, the latter is the pleasantest man in the world. His friends call him “Rich” and marvel at his wonderful good nature and the fact that he is still single.

He was educated at the Culver Military Academy and had general theatrical experience with the Metropolitan Players, Royal Chef and the Orpheum Stock. He went into motion picture work three years ago and in his portrayal of “bad man” roles for the American company has enlisted many, many admirers — something that the “heavy” does not always get.
