Richard Travers

Travers was born Richard Libb on 15, April 1885, in Hudson Bay Post, Northwest Territory, Canada. He attended St. Andrew College in Glasgow, Scotland. Travers fought with Canadians in the Boer War, with his height making him appear older than his actual 15 years. He received promotions and "was a prime favorite".

Travers performed on stage with stock theater companies and acted in films with the Lubin Manufacturing Company and Essanay Studios.

Travers was married in 1908. He and his wife, Augusta, separated in 1912 after she refused to accompany him when he went to Philadelphia to act in films. He died of pneumonia on 20 April 1935 in San Diego, California, aged 50.
