Biography

Born in Arkansas on August 13, 1904, Barton began acting in 1923. In The Goof (1924), directed by William Beaudine, she is one of a number of beauties called Spike Malone's diving girls. The seven-reel farce featured former William Fox actress, Alta Allen, as the head of the troupe. Spike was played by Chuck Relaner. In the 1924 Hollywood Follies Francisco was one of the Mack Sennett's bathing girls who performed at the Philharmonic Auditorium.
