Hickman (billed as "Howard Hickman"), Kathleen Kirkham, Noah Beery Sr., and Joseph J. Dowling. Note that Rhea Mitchell started in movies in 1909 at the age of 19, and she was a fairly big star through the mid 1910s. But as she got older, her parts started drying up, and she had fewer and fewer roles in the 1920s, and mostly uncredited roles in the 1930s. She managed an apartment building in Los Angeles, and she made her last movie appearance in 1952, and in 1957, at the age of 66, she was strangled by a "disgruntled houseboy"!
