Wesley Barry

WESLEY BARRY was born in Hollywood, Cal., on August 10th., 1907, and received his education in that city. From his first screen appearance on the old Kalem lot to the present time he has always been a great favorite with screen "fans" because of the typically American boy characterizations for which he is famous. Though far advanced along the professional path Wesley is nevertheless a "regular feller" and spends his leisure hours with the lads he has known since childhood. If it is true that Ziegfeld "glorified the American girl" then it is surely true that Barry "glorified the good old freckle," for the boy possesses a matchless wealth of freckles. He is an enthusiastic baseball fan and indulges in the game at every opportunity. Wesley is rapidly growing tall, weighs 110 lbs., and has blue eyes and red hair.
