Actors' Colony Unofficial Roster |
|
A partial listing of known Colony members
from the 1908-1930 period. |
|
This roster is not necessarily a complete list of show business participants and includes some non-theatrical area residents who were active in some Colony activities. Also included are some out-of-town theatrical people who were occasional visitors. |
Please contact me if you can shed light or share pictures from the lives of any of these individuals!
