Donald Hall on AllMovie

A prominent character actor of the 1910s, former light baritone Donald Hall starred opposite Anna Held and Fritzi Scheff in hit shows such as Floradora and The Girl Behind the Counter before entering films with Vitagraph in 1914. Often appearing opposite his wife, Frankie Mann, Hall made a fine James II in the melodrama Hearts and the Highway (1915) and added dignity to such less than sterling efforts as The Sex Lure (1916), Alias Mrs. Jessup (1917), and the serial The Drake Case (1919). Less busy in the 1920s, Hall became an extra after the advent of sound and was spotted as late as 1943 playing a senator in the housing shortage comedy Government Girl. He died at the Motion Picture Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, CA.
