About Berton Churchill

Berton Churchill (December 9, 1876 – October 10, 1940) was a Canadian stage and film actor. His first performance on Broadway was in The Barber of New Orleans (1909), and his last was in Five Star Final (1930).

Albee added him to his summer stock company at Pawtucket, where Churchill continued to perform almost every summer for at least two decades.
