Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Walter Connolly" in English language version.
Mr. Connolly was born in Cincinnati on April 8, 1887, a son of Walter Joseph Connelly, a telegraph employe, and Ella Burke Connolly. He attended St. Xavier's College in Cincinnati and the Cincinnati College of Music, and later in life took courses at the University of Dublin. [...] After the war, he went to Dublin, where he studied with the intention of embracing some other calling than that of the actor. His efforts to leave the stage were frustrated when he made several visits to the Abbey Theater, visits which again aroused the call of the boards.
This was 1917. Walter Connolly could not forget that Irish ancestry. He enlisted in the Marines and departed for France. Before he returned to this country, at the end of the war, he went into Ireland and studied at the University of Dublin, spending some time at the Abbey Theater. Back in New York again, Connolly then resumed his career in 'The Woman in Bronze,' with Margaret Anglin, playing the role of the lovable Paddy Griggs.
When Miss Anglin and the emotions are effectively in confluence, as they are in 'The Woman of Bronze,' you may expect to experience all the rapid and sympathetic heart-beats common to the theater. [...] 'The Woman of Bronze' is deliberate, premeditated, and according to order. Paul Kester, who adapted it from the collaboration of Henry Kistemaecker and Eugene Delard, deprives it of none of its routine possibilities, and it is by no means a botch. The acting is very good, and it includes that of Fred Eric as the sculptor, Walter Connolly as the honest friend, Miss Marion Barney as a merry widow, Sidney Mather as a semi-villain, and others.
