Paul Scardon

Paul Scardon (6 May 1874 in Melbourne, Australia – 17 January 1954 in Fontana, California) was an actor, a producer, and a director on both Australian and New York stages. He directed Blanche Sweet in Unwilling Husband, Bessie Barriscale in some of her most successful productions, and most of the melodramas which starred his wife, actress Betty Blythe.
