Biography
Frank Du Frane entered the world on August 30, 1892, in the whaling port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, and spent the next forty-six years trading on a talent for make-believe. Silent-era audiences first spotted him in 1915’s The Unbroken Road; two decades later he resurfaced in the B-thriller Larceny on the Air, proving his staying power as screens learned to talk. His final curtain fell on September 20, 1938, in Valley Stream, Long Island, a quiet New York suburb far from the Atlantic winds that had shaped his beginning.
