Frank Griffin (director)

While details regarding his early life and origins are sparse, Griffin directed numerous short films, particularly Westerns and comedies, from the mid-1910s through the early 1920s. He frequently worked with actors such as Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran. His directing credits include films such as Lonesome Trail, The Girl Who Dared, and numerous entries in the "Lonesome Luke" series starring Harold Lloyd.
