Robert George Strange (November 26, 1881 – February 22, 1952) was an American actor during the first half of the 20th century, performing in theater and film. His Broadway career spanned 20 years, from 1913 through 1933, and included appearances in over 30 plays.[1][2] He then appeared in film throughout the 1930s and 40s, in such roles as Waxey Armitage in Special Agent (1935), Dr. Hubert Foote in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939), Art in High Sierra (1941) and John Malcolm in Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941).[3]
Early life and career
Strange was born in New York City, the elder of two sons[4] born to William Crawford Strange and Mary Young.[5] He attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School and Columbia University, where he played football.[6][7] He also set a bicycle-racing record at age seventeen and spent eight seasons as goaltender for the New York Athletic Club hockey team, helping the squad win two championships.[6]
Strange started a real estate career, but was drawn to acting, performing with various companies, including one headed by Blanche Bates.[8] He became a member of Washington Square Players, while remaining employed as supervisor of a diamond-cutting factory, before appearing in a string of Broadway plays[8] from 1913 to 1933 (and occasionally thereafter), including The Famous Mrs. Fair, which ran for nearly a year.[2]
In the fall of 1940, having relocated to the San Fernando Valley, Strange and his wife, herself a veteran stage and radio actress, joined the faculty of the Leslie Academy of the Dance, directing its newly instituted drama program.[9][10] An outgrowth of this development was their little theatre troupe, the Strange Show Shop. One notable alumnus of both the school and the troupe emerged the following summer, when 16-year-old Farley Granger delivered his "monologue satire" as part of an event staged to benefit the Van Nuys contingent of the Women's Ambulance and Defense Corps.[11] As of October 1942, Granger was still being described as a "pupil of Mr. and Mrs. Strange."[12]
Personal life and death
Strange was married on at least three occasions, the first two marriages ending in divorce. All three spouses were fellow performers. The first, Florence Edith Stockwell (1905–1915),[13][14] was an accomplished contralto soloist who would fall victim to a fatal car crash just two years after their divorce.[15] The second, from 1920 until 1929, was fellow thespian Diantha Pattison,[16] with whom Strange collaborated extensively in 1922, when they joined Detroit's Woodward Players, performing a new play each week for seven months.[17] In 1929, the couple's widely publicized divorce on grounds of adultery was uncontested and promptly granted to Pattison following "15 minutes of spicy testimony."[18][19] Strange's final and most successful marriage, from October 1938 until his death, was to actress Ruth Dean Rickaby.[5][9][20]

Six months later, the studio released its masterpiece The Adventures of Captain Marvel. Cast as Professor John Malcolm was the same Robert Strange. [...] Audiences immediately were prepared to see Strange exposed as that villain because of his superb portrayal of the thoroughly wicked Kettler. When the final episode cleared him, there was a note of almost disappointment in the kids' reaction. In his third serial role — the heroine's lost father, Professor Henry Gordon, in The Perils of Nyoka — the fans were ready to accept him as a good guy at last."
