Frank Hayes is a Actor American born on 17 may 1871 at San Francisco (USA)
Frank Hayes (May 17, 1871 – December 28, 1923) was an American film actor of the silent era. He appeared in 73 films between 1913 and 1924. An actor with a unique hatchet face appearance he appeared mostly in comedies. His facial appearance naturally lent to comedic effect in silent films, but, he also showed up in sentimental farces such as A Hoosier Romance (1918), an early film starring Colleen Moore.
He died in Hollywood, California from pneumonia, aged 52.
Son visage extrêmement mobile et ses mimiques particulièrement expressives correspondent parfaitement au jeu de l'acteur des films muets et sont exploitées dans les comédies burlesques de l'époque. Il joue en général des personnages bien plus âgés Il a notamment à de très nombreuses reprises campé des rôles féminins en se travestissant.
Il meurt en 1923 à l'âge de 52 ans des suites d'une pneumonie.

Thomas Wentworth Duncan, a millionaire, faces the prospect of being broke after a fradulent trustee absconds with his money.

Duncan has also fallen in love with Sally Reeves, an old flame, but he realizes he no longer has the fortune and lifestyle to which she is accustomed and obviously cannot ask her to marry him. After returning from a gala that he fully expects to be his last one with his elite friends, he finds a mysterious letter on his table inscribed "personal and important". The letter informs him that his financial woes are well known to the letter-writer and if he will give one month to an unexplained project, the sender will pay him $250,000. Duncan decides to reject the offer in the letter, but the thought of being with Sally makes him change his mind. The next day, a limousine arrives for Duncan and with it a huge man whom he names Goliath. Duncan is taken to the hospital of Dr. Spleen, a fanatic who wants to transplant Duncan's perfectly good heart into the body of Judah P. Corpus, Sally’s rich uncle, who wants to remain young. When Duncan learns that Spleen's previous heart transplant patients, which were two dogs, that both died, he becomes nervous and wants out of the deal, but he is prevented from leaving by Goliath. As Spleen is about to perform the operation, the excitement proves to be too much for him and he drops dead. Sally's uncle doesn't know that the Dr. has died, and thinks the operation has been performed. After leaving the hospital, Duncan receives news from the authorities that the trustee has been found and that his fortune is saved, so he and Sally can now get married.
