Wesley Barry, the freckle-faced kid who stepped right into inner circles of fame overnight was a Marshall Neilan find. The director saw him en iy i gaged in a street fight and discovered his comedy possibilities. His success in "Daddy Long Legs" and "The Unpardonable Sin" led to his being made Rdiry a star. "Dinty" was his first starring production, which was followed by "Rags to Riches," "Heroes of the Street," and many other weli'krown pictures.
