Wesley Barry, child actor in silent films 1907-1914. Wesley Barry to Visit Seattle-"Go out and get me some good actors about your size and weight." Wesley Barry, the young screen star, received these instructions from his director in connection with his latest picture "Heroes of the Street," which will be shown in Seattle when Wesley arrives in person. Wes felt this was "a snap." His assignment was to get some boys with whom he would scrap and beat just by a hair's breadth. He went to a corner of Hollywood and got a husky who weighed about 110 pounds, and brought him back to the studio where both were told how to stage the realistic fight. Wes, by all the rules of the game, was scheduled to win; but he didn't. The young husky whalloped the stuffings out of poor Wes, who was outweighed and outclassed. The film was ruined. A week later Wes went out on a similar assignment. He brought back a wee fellow and got his revenge by a devastating victory. Still, it wouldn't do. Wes had to go out again and find a fellow he could "just" lick by hard work. It took a lot of patience to find the fellow, but find him, he did after everybody had all but despaired. "I didn't want the kids' fight to be stagy; that's why I didn't rehearse it; I wanted it to be the real thing," said the director in explanation. While in the city Wesley will be the guest of L.K.
