Arthur Hughes (June 24, 1894 – December 28, 1982) was an American actor on the stage, radio and films.
On Broadway, he performed in two dozen plays between 1923 and 1968, including Mourning Becomes Electra (1931–32) and Elizabeth the Queen (1930–31).
Hughes played Steven Dallas on the radio soap opera Stella Dallas[1] and was perhaps best known as title character Bill Davidson on the long-running daytime radio serial, Just Plain Bill.
Hughes and Edward Pawley, of Big Town fame, were good friends.
Hughes was a witness at Pawley's marriage to his first wife, stage actress Martina May Martin, in 1922.
