D. Barnes
(1861?–1946) Biographical An actor, Barnes began his career on the stage before joining the Edison Manufacturing Company, a pioneer of the early motion picture industry that produced hundreds of silent films and developed a range of cinematic technologies. In 1910 he moved to the Thanhouser Company. His most enigmatic role was as the gunman in The Great Train Robbery (1903), a brief, uncredited appearance that achieved enduring recognition. The periodical Movie Pictorial wrote the following about him in its issue of 4 July 1914: 'Justus D. Barnes is a man of original tastes, untarnished by convention. Now with the Thanhouser forces, Mr. Barnes has to his credit the record of having played more than four hundred character parts on the screen. As a means of travel, horses fill the foremost place in his affection. For aeroplanes or automobiles he has no use. His carriage horse, "Tom," is well known as one of the finest harness horses in Westchester County. ' Place of birth: Little Falls NY Place of death: Weedsport NY |
