WESLEY BARRY

 

From Stars of the Photoplay (1924)

WESLEY BARRY, the freckle-faced kid who stepped right into inner circles of fame overnight, was a Marshall Neilan find. The director saw him engaged in a street fight and discovered his comedy possibilities. His success in "Daddy Long Legs" and "The Unpardonable Sin" led to his being made a star. "Dinty" was his first starring production, which was followed by "Rags to Riches," "Heroes of the Street," and many other well-known pictures. He has also made a nationwide tour in vaudeville as a juvenile actor. He was born in Los Angeles in 1907, and educated there.
