Encyclopedia

, author, and film director
. He was a busy performer in Hollywood films of the 1930s.
, and son of the goodly old-time minstrel
, Milt G. Barlow
(1843–1904), Barlow made his stage debut at the age of twelve in his father's minstrel troupe of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose, and West.
Barlow joined the 2nd (Special Service) Battalion of The Royal Canadian Regiment
on October 22, 1899 for service in South Africa
during the Second Boer War
. According to newspaper and other accounts, he did also serve in the United States Army
during the Spanish-American War
and World War I
, and eventually rose to the rank of full colonel
in 1923.
Barlow had thoughts of quitting the stage for the church in 1908 and at the time remarked to an interviewer: "All my ancestors have been soldiers, actors, and ministers, and some of them all three. I am a direct descendant of Bishop Barlow of the days of Henry VIII
."
Among his early silent film
s were The Cinema Murder (1919), the post World War I drama Love's Flame in which he plays the father-in-law: "M. De Ronsard", and in the comedy Clothes Make the Pirate (1925) in which he plays "Captain Montague", a cameo
. After the changeover to sound, Barlow usually played men of means, such as military officers, senators, and bankers, turning up as a chaplain in Ann Vickers (1933), the sheriff in Tower of London (1939), and the Professor Warwick ostracizing mad scientist George Zucco
in The Mad Monster (1942).
Further, as the American Legion
Hollywood Post 43 was often included in the older films without giving any actual credit as to which members of the Post were actually shown within the films, its highly likely that Barlow did also often appear in films as an uncredited member of Hollywood Post 43.
: who was known to have made at least a cameo appearance
in every one of his films. His film The Toy Maker of Leyden (1915) is listed as The Magic Toy Maker in: Hanson & Givenson, eds. American Film Institute

that he was 22 years old at his first marriage. He married Clare Danforth, on April 15, 1902 in Charleston, Missouri
. This "marriage", however, was subsequently refuted by the family of Bertha Merkel, infra, and was apparently an extortion
attempt.
He married Milwaukee heiress Bertha Merkel (aka: Selma Rose), the daughter of George and Mary Merkel, on August 6, 1903 in Los Angeles, California
, and to whom he remained married until her death in 1933. He later married Carol Brown (of Pasadena, California
), to whom he was married at the time of his death, according to his death certificate and according to the Los Angeles Times
of 1934 when he married Carol in Tijuana, Mexico.
On August 21, 1903 the Chicago Inter Ocean reported that Barlow had committed bigamy. According to Barlow's first wife, who claimed that he married her under the pseudonym Livingston, the couple were not divorced at the time of his second marriage to Bertha Merkel. However, the Los Angeles Times
subsequently published an article on August 28, 1903 which completely exhonorated Barlow, who had just recently converted to Catholicism
in order to marry Bertha, of any wrong doing. It was actually Barlow's new mother-in-law, Mary Merkel, who had earlier initiated an investigation and upon discovery, prosecution of Barlow, which of course never happened.
