Beaten senseless in an underworld bar, Raymond Bloomer is aided by Marion Davies in a scene still from the 1919 silent drama The Belle of New York.

Raymond Bloomer (December 9, 1886 – November 1, 1948), was an American actor. He appeared in 22 films between 1913 and 1927.

After receiving a scholarship, Bloomer left Rochester, New York, when he was 18 and went to New York to study music at a conservatory. Another student's illness led to his taking a part in a play. He went on to act in stock theater companies in several cities, including Buffalo, Detroit, and Montreal. His work in films included Vitagraph productions.[1]

Bloomer's Broadway credits include Naughty Marietta (1910), The Revue of Revues (1911), The Duchess (1911), Baron Trenck (1912), A Good Little Devil (1913), The Squab Farm (1918), King Richard III (1920), Macbeth (1921), and Swords (1921).[2]
