Joseph T. Belmont — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Joseph T. Belmont is he of the aristocratic eyebrows, curly hair and firm chin who plays character parts and is chief comedian of the Crystal stock company.

As soon as the Crystal powers took note of the Belmont chin they knew that its owner would be asking for a directorship in a short time, so they gave him that authority immediately, and in return Mr. Belmont turned out most satisfactory slap-stick comedies, with himself in them as the big fun-maker.

He has made himself so well known that his appearance on the screen is greeted with an enthusiastic murmur, for Mr. Belmont never disappoints.

Fifteen years of stage experience prepared him for the work he is now doing. He played juvenile leads in repertoire shows, began his character portrayal with that of Fagin in Oliver Twist, played with Blanche Bates in Darling of the Gods and Girl of the Golden West, and as comedian for Keith’s Harlem Opera House.
