A Broadway actress of some renown who had starred in the original 1932 production of Philip Barry's The Animal Kingdom, Lora Baxter played an actress falsely accused of murdering her lover in Before Morning (1933), an independently produced and distributed whodunit with Leo Carrillo. It was to be her only feature-film appearance. Baxter, who was briefly married to American poet William Rose Benet, wrote the play The Dark Tower, a moderate success in 1932, and later appeared in such productions as The Laughing Woman (1936) and Young Mr. Disraeli (1937). ~ Hans J.
