Harold Vosburgh

Biography

Harold Vosburgh stepped before the camera during the nickelodeon era and left his silhouette on three surviving pictures: the flag-waving drama *My Country First* and the coastal crime quickie *The Smugglers*, both rushed into theaters in 1916, and the 1921 social comedy *If Women Only Knew*. His career occupied the narrow window between gaslit stages and the dawn of sound, and when the curtain finally fell he was in New Orleans, where he died on 17 November 1926.
