Barry Conners (1882-1933)--actor, playwright, attorney and screenwriter--was born and raised in Oil City, PA, the son of a country doctor. Although he later graduated from law school, he never established a practice. Instead, he joined the theater as an actor with an eye to learning stagecraft well enough to become a playwright. For a time he was a song-and-dance man in vaudeville and he toured the country as an actor in various repertory groups. Sometime early in the century, he joined the so-called White Rats Movement ("Star" spelled backwards). The organization, which Ethel Barrymore's father Maurice Barrymore helped to form, aimed to improve conditions for actors who had fallen into the grip of a few monopolistic theatrical producers (primarily Charles Frohman's theatrical syndicate) who were controlling the business. The organization, a predecessor of the Actors Guild, was destroyed around World War I and Conners was blacklisted from work as an actor in the theater. He took a job as a hunting and fishing guide in the Lake Tahoe, Nevada, area and began writing plays. Subsequently several of his plays were produced in New York City in the 1920s, beginning with the off-Broadway production of "Mad Honeymoon." Among his other successful plays was "Hell's Bells," which in 1925 provided the Broadway debut of actress Shirley Booth and actor Humphrey Bogart. His other Broadway plays included "Applesauce," and "Unexpected Husbands." Following the success of "The Patsy," which starred William Randolph Hearst's mistress, Marion Davies. Seeing his chance to capitalize on his voice, Conners left Broadway for Hollywood as talkies swept the film industry at the end of the decade. He worked as a screenwriter for Fox Films for several years.
Conners died in a fire in his Los Angeles apartment building on Jan. 5, 1933. He was just 50 years old.- Greg Brown was born on 24 September 1969 in Oil City, Pennsylvania, USA. He was an actor, known for The Zombie Chronicles (2001). He died on 14 February 2004 in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA.
