Thomas MacLarnie

Biography

On a winter day in 1870—December 20—North Adams, Massachusetts, welcomed Thomas MacLarnie into the world. He grew into a performer whose face flickered across early cinema screens, anchoring audiences in *The Man Trail* and *The Blindness of Virtue*, both released in 1915, and later surfacing again in 1927’s *The Masked Menace*. Sixty years almost to the day after his birth, he drew his final breath in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 1, 1931.
