Biography
A Vermont spring delivered J. Frank Burke on 22 April 1867 in the village of Hartland. Within fifty years he had slipped before the cameras, lending weathered authority to The Italian (1915), then twirling through the comic chaos of Madcap Madge and the bullet-riddled mystery of The Iced Bullet (both 1917). Los Angeles claimed him on 23 January 1918, closing the curtain on a life that had migrated from Green Mountain quietude to the flickering birth of Hollywood.
