Albert Sidney Angeles (1875 – May 1950)[1] was a theatre actor and director of silent films.[2] Born in London,[3] he worked in the USA as a writer and director for Vitagraph,[4] later directing for Universal.[5]
Angeles acted on stage[6] before his film career,[7] as well as composing music.[8] He quietly married film actress Edith Halleren (also spelled Halleran or Halloran) in 1913.[9] In 1915, he was hired to make comedies for the Santa Barbara Motion Picture Company.[10] That same year, copyrights were filed for Billy studies music, Billy now a medico, and Billy's stratagem, credited as "by Bert Angeles". These were part of a series of Billy movies.[11]
Angeles was cast along two other former directors in The Squab Farm, a comedy on Broadway about the cinema world.[12][13]
In 1928, Angeles and Julia Parker starred in a singing, dancing and comedy show called One Born Every Minute, which was written about by the magazine Billboard.[14]
