Raymond Griffith was a prominent silent comedian, but he is widely forgotten today because only one and 6/7s of his silent features are readily available. Hands Up! is a Civil War comedy and Paths to Paradise is a caper film that is missing its last reel. His career ended with the coming of talkies because he could only speak in a whisper. He made one last appearance, a tiny role in
All Quiet on the Western Front, and then moved to the production end of the business. Raymond Griffith was born 125 years ago today, on 23-January-1895.

Griffith's trademark was a top hat and evening clothes. His characters were always cool, calm and collected.
