Winter Hall

New Zealand-born stage actor Winter Hall first appeared in American films when he joined the Lasky Company (later Paramount) in 1916. The poised, distinguished Hall soon became a regular of the Cecil B. DeMille unit at Lasky, playing major roles in DeMille's Romance of the Redwoods (1917), Til I Come Back to You (1918), The Squaw Man (1918), The Affairs of Anatol (1921) and Saturday Night (1922). Beginning with 1919's Red Lantern, Hall tended to be typecast as a cleric. Throughout the talkie era, Winter Hall was seen as various ministers and priests in such productions as The Love Parade (1929), Cavalcade (1933), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934), The Invisible Ray (1936) and Slave Ship.
