Historia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Creighton Hale (24 May 1888 — 9 August 1965) was an Irish-American theatre, film, and television actor whose career extended more than a half-century, from the early 1900s to the end of the 1950s. Born Patrick Fitzgerald in County Cork, Ireland, he was educated in Dublin and London, and later attended Ardingly College in Sussex. He immigrated to America in his early twenties, traveling with a troupe of actors. While starring in Charles Frohman's Broadway production of Indian Summer, Hale was spotted by a representative of the Pathe Film Company. He eventually became known professionally as Creighton Hale, although the derivation of those names remains unknown. His first movie was The Exploits of Elaine in 1914. He starred in hit films such as Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, and The Cat and the Canary. When talkies came about, his career declined. He made several appearances in Hal Roach's Our Gang series (School's Out, Big Ears, Free Wheeling), and also played unbilled bits in major talking films such as Larceny, Inc., The Maltese Falcon, and Casablanca. He died in the Los Angeles County city of South Pasadena and was buried at Duncans Mills Cemetery in Northern California.

Historia de la humanidad
Heavenly Judge (uncredited)
Mezcla de comedia, historia y fantasía que narra principalmente un ficticio juicio celestial que se lleva a cabo contra la humanidad en el que se enfrentan como defensor el Espíritu del Hombre (Ronald Colman) y como fiscal el mismísimo Diablo (Vincent Price). El juez celestial es Sir Cedric Hardwicke y, a lo largo del filme, se relatan diversos hechos históricos de la Historia pero en tonos de farsa. Por ejemplo: Peter Lorre es Nerón, Groucho Marx es Peter Minuit, quien compró la isla de Manhattan a los indios por una ganga, Harpo Marx es Isaac Newton y Dennis Hopper es nada menos que Napoleón Bonaparte.
