Harry Conor (c. 1856 – April 1931) was an American comic actor, best known for playing the role of Welland Strong in A Trip to Chinatown.
Conor grew up in Massachusetts, and began acting at an early age, appearing as a child with William J. Florence in No Thoroughfare.
At age 19, he formed his own company to perform a play written for him, and traveled to South Carolina for their first show.
According to Conor, seeing a glow in the sky in the wee hours of the night as he arrived in Columbia, he commented on the "beautiful sunrise" only to be told it was local theatre burning down which included all his sets and costumes, which was the end of that first touring company.
[9] Conor died in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in April 1931[10] and is little remembered today, though he has a short entry in The Oxford Companion to American Theatre.
