Warner Richmond
Page 2


On the right is Warner as henchman "Cherokee" in Tex Ritter's first starring western, SONG OF THE GRINGO (Grand National, 1936).

And you can see that "Richmond grin" with the tight upper lip and row of pearly teeth.



It's always exciting to receive input from family members and friends of these old movie performers. The following photos are from the collections of Peter Mintun and Jim Clark.

Warner's sister Meta was Jim's great grandmother.

Peter was best friends with Warner's grandson, John W. Richmond, the son of Warner P. Jr. and Barbara Richmond.

Special thanks to Jim and Peter for sharing.

There's no date or other attributes on this portrait shot of Warner - probably from about 1920 when he was in his mid thirties.

Above and below are Warner and Felice Richmond and the photo below includes Warner P. Jr.

These are from 1922 when they visted Warner's sister Meta and family who were living in Washington D.C.
