HERBERT RAWLINSON
NE of the steadfast stars since earlyfilm days is Herbert Rawlinson, whose long years of success have come through sincere effort and determined purpose.
Rawlinson was born in Brighton, England, November 15, 1885. He was educated at Hayward's school in Heath, and later the College of St. Servan, in France.
After attempting various occupations, the lure of show life drew him, and he began his career by joining a circus. His biographer fails to state just what training under canvas bridged the gap, but Rawlinson evolved to the stage, securing small parts. He traveled with road shows and, after securing extended experience, was given leading roles in several stock companies.
His professional career had brought him to America, and when motion pictures began to attract much public attention, Rawlinson was offered the opportunity to repeat for the screen his
successes upon the "boards." His initial plunge was with Selig, in a photoplay, "The Novice." He remained with that company two seasons, removing to the Los Angeles studio.
Upon leaving Selig, Rawlinson joined Universal Film Company as a star. His first big production was "Come Through."
Since that time Mr. Rawlinson has appeared with many other notable stars, playing for various leading organizations. Among his pictures of free-lance days are: "The Man Trap," "Smashing Through," "The Turn of the Wheel," "Good Gracious Annabelle," "The Common Cause," "The House Divided," "Come Through," the Craig Kennedy serial, Chief Flynn secret service serial, "Passers By," "The Wakefield Case," "Playthings of Destiny" and "Wealth."
Many of these productions that starred Rawlinson were stories of the underworld and he became identified as the star of the "crook" play.
Rawlinson, since starring for Universal, has played "The Spy," an adaptation from Cooper's novel; "Confidence," "The Scarlet Car" and "The Millionaire."
This star is of the athletic type, and is fond of all outdoor sports. He boxes, swims and rides. In many productions his physical prowess has been utilized for devil-maycare roles, in which strength and daring are necessary. Many times Rawlinson has performed daring feats which were attended by threats of imminent results should he lose his nerve.
Although reputed as a breath-getter, this fine, wholesome young fellow has proven his title to star because of histrionic ability alone.
Rawlinson is six feet tall and weighs 170 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. His home is in Hollywood.
