Betty Bolton

Betty Bolton (7 January 1906 – 2 April 2005) was a British actress, beginning as a child star during World War I and continuing her career in the 1920s and 1930s.

Bolton made her debut in 1916, at the age of 10, in a revue called Some, at the Vaudeville Theatre in London.

'Betty', as she was originally billed (no surname), played in several revues by Harry Grattan, such as Odds and Ends and Mind Your Backs during World War I, some of them produced by Andr Charlot, playing precocious children.

Photographs from two of these revues, including Cheep (1917) and Back Again (1919), show her remarkable powers of facial expression.

Bolton was a versatile performer, appearing in almost every branch of entertainment available in the 1920s and early 1930s: revues, straight plays, films, and recordings.
