A stunning CDV of the "Bacon Stock Company" show nine actors & actresses with Frank Bacon in the center. His wife Jennie Weidman is also pictured. The image is IDd from Davis Photo paper frame. Frank Bacon (1864-1922), was an American character actor and playwright who after years of relative obscurity achieved great success as he entered the twilight of his career. The 1918 play Lightnin', which Bacon co-wrote and starred in, set a Broadway record for the day of 1,291 performances and was still going strong on tour after more than 700 shows when Bacon was forced to bow out due to fatigue. His death from a heart attack followed a week later.
