eEORGE LARKIN. Born November 11, 1889. Coming from a family of acrobats, Mr. Larkin inherited the same proclivities, and at the age of six started his career as an acrobat, following this line until the age of sixteen, when he went into vaudeville for two seasons, playing comedy and musical sketches, after which he worked with the Temple Stock Company and Proctor Stock Company. Entered the picture game with Edison Company, where he stayed two years; then followed engagements of a year and a half each with the Pathe Company and Eclair Company. While with the Pathe Company he was nicknamed "Daredevil" Larkin. His most spectacular fete was pretending to be shot and falling off a motorcycle going forty miles an hour. His most successful pictures while he was East were "Cheyenne Brave," "Under Both Flags." "A Choice by Accident," "The Wager," etc. Mr. Larkin is now engaged with the Universal Company, Los Angeles, Cal., playing leads, his latest success being in the celebrated production of "The Trey o' Hearts," playing opposite Cleo Madison.
