Richard Cummings — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

Richard Cummings — who is “Dick” to the studio folk — has been in the theatrical business all his life.

He has been actor, manager and producer, with an enviable reputation in the legitimate — though of late he has turned his talents exclusively to motion pictures.

As Reliance character man he shows clearly his years of dramatic experience.

When the Thanhouser Company [Edwin Thanhouser] was in Los Angeles he made his debut with them on the screen, and on their returning East, Mr. Cummings joined the Majestic forces.

Still more recently he has been transferred to the Reliance where he is enrolled among the veterans and seasoned stars of the Griffith [D. W. Griffith] ranks. He is seen in some of the cleverest comedy roles the Hollywood studios have produced.
