FRANK CONROY (Clyde Norman) |
||||
Frank Conroy was born in England where he spent three years training and touring with the Benson Shakespeare Company. He later came to the United States, obtained his American citizenship and joined the Washington Square Players, the embryo of the present Theatre Guild. Mr. Conroy established the Greenwich Village Theatre where he alternately served as actor and director and where he also porduced some of Eugene O'Neill's early one-act plays. In 1930, he made his first appearance in motion pictures and, since then, has divided his time between both coasts for a host of films and for such Broadway productions as "On Borrowed Time," "The Little Foxes," "One Man Show," "Point of No Return," "Kind Sir," "Compulsion," and "The Potting Shed." With the latter, Frank Conroy earned the coveted Antoinette Perry Award, an occasion which also marked his fiftieth anniversary in the theatre. The actor's distinguished career was interrrupted during World War I for service with the United States Navy. | |||||
