Before he ever stepped in front of a movie camera, Bradley had amassed about 2 decades' worth of Broadway stage credits,^[5] most notably in the original production of Anne Nichols' Abie's Irish Rose, in which Bradley portrayed Father Whelan in all 2,327 performances.^[6][7]

Personal life and death

Bradley was married at least twice, both times to fellow stage performers.

In 1894, he married Lurelle Lansing Waters.^[8] She divorced Bradley on grounds of desertion in 1906,^[9] but continued to appear alongside him onstage under her maiden name for at least another two years.^[10]

From 1926 until her death in June 1947, Bradley was married to the stage actress and singer Lorena Atwood.^[11] On October 18, scarcely four months later, Bradley suffered a fatal heart attack in Hollywood.^[6]
