Whitney Raymond — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Whitney Raymond is awfully good looking and is not a bit spoiled by the fact.

He plays as well since he was told he possessed “looks”‘ as before, and pompadours his hair because it demands less attention so, and not because it adds to his looks — though if does, of course.

Whitney was destined for juvenile roles and went into them, pompadour and all, with tornado-like zest. He hasn’t come out of them yet, because he is creating such satisfaction right where he is and, if he continues to diet and guard his slenderness, he will be a second Julian Eltinge in no time, as he makes a perfectly charming girl and revels in the role.

A truly, purely dyed-in-the-wool American is Whitney, even though he did go to Canada to start his work in theatricals. He was with Robert Hilliard a whole season in A Fool There Was, after which he joined Essanay.
