Biography
Robert Dunbar was born on July 1, 1858, in Beaver, Pennsylvania. Dunbar is recorded as having worked in the film industry, with a credited role in the 1920 film The City of Masks as Mr. Smith-Parvis.
Dunbar’s appearance in The City of Masks represents one of the few documented contributions to cinema from the available records. The film’s title suggests a narrative involving disguise or hidden identities, a common theme in silent-era productions, though specific details about the character’s role or Dunbar’s performance are not preserved in the verified data. The film’s release year places it within the broader context of early 20th-century American cinema, a period marked by the transition from silent films to the eventual adoption of synchronized sound.
