Arthur Hoops (1870〔''Who Was Who on Screen'' by Evelyn Mack Truitt, p.348, 3rd Edit. c.1983〕 – September 17, 1916) was an American stage and screen actor primarily associated with actor James K. Hackett. From 1900 on Hoops supported or costarred with Hackett in three Ruritanian themed plays ''Rupert of Hentzau'', ''The Pride of Jennico'' and most famously ''The Prisoner of Zenda''. Both he and Hackett well over 6'4" made worthy adversaries in the famous duelling scene from 'Zenda'. It was the most famous duelling scene in the American theatre at the turn of the 20th century.〔''Pictorial History of the American Theatre 1860-1985'' by Daniel Blum, c. 1985〕 Hoops moved on to silent film in 1914. As his screen career progressed Hoops appeared in several films with Mary Pickford, one film with Marguerite Clark and finished his career in over half a dozen films at Metro Studios starring early screen vamp Olga Petrova. Hoops died in Los Angeles at 46 following a heart attack.〔''Pictorial History of the Silent Screen'' by Daniel Blum, c.1953〕〔''Silent Film Necrology'' by Eugene Michael Vazzana, p.249, 3rd edit., c.2001〕 ==Selected filmography== * ''Such a Little Queen'' (1914) * ''The Lost Paradise'' (1914) * ''Mistress Nell'' (1915) * ''Gretna Green'' (1915) * ''Esmerelda'' (1915) * ''The Lure of Heart's Desire'' (1916) * ''Playing With Fire'' (1916) * ''The Eternal Question'' (1916) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Hoops」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
