BiographyHistory

Australian variety performer, farce writer, and stage manager.

James Craydon spent the first 20 years of his professional career as a member of the 'Australian Team' Delohery, Craydon and Holland. After the trio called in quits in the early 1900s, Craydon worked both a solo act and in partnership with his wife, Addie Barton and their daughter, Letty (billed as Baby Jackson). Over the next two decades he appeared on bills for the Tivoli, James Brennan, Ted Holland , J. C. Bain and others before turning his career towards the production side – as a stage manager, agent and producer.
