His other notable roles onscreen during the 1930s included a portrayal of The Mad Hatter in the 1933 Alice in Wonderland, and a neurotic paleontologist (who first appears disguised as a woman) in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937).

Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com: accessed ), memorial page for His hobbies included antiques, and at the time of his death in 1970, he had a collection with an estimated value of a half million dollars.
It was after the advent of sound, however, that he fully hit his stride on the big screen. He's so nervous, jumping all over the place.Maybe that's because you're a couple jumps ahead of him. Horton's first talking feature was The Front Page (1931), directed by Lewis Milestone, based on the hit play by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, in which he played fidgety reporter Roy Bensinger. That engagement endeared him to millions of baby boomers and their parents, and his work in those cartoons continues to gain Horton new fans four decades after his death. For almost 70 years, his work delighted theatergoers on two coasts (and a lot of the real estate in between) and movie audiences, first in the silents and then in the talkies, where he quickly became a familiar supporting player and then a second lead, often essaying comically nervous "fuddy-duddy" parts, and transcended the seeming limitations of character acting to rival most of the leading men around him in popularity; he subsequently moved into television, both as an actor and narrator, and gained a whole new fandom for his work as the storyteller in the animated series "Fractured Fairy Tales."
His path to graduation was thwarted when he joined the university's drama club -- despite his 6'2" build, his first role had him cast as a woman.
His grandfather was Edward Everett Hale, the author of the story The Man Without a Country. She hasn't stopped talking in 20 years.Well we can't let them get started.

He never did graduate from Columbia, but he embarked on a performing career that was to keep him busy for more than six decades.
His singing brought him to the Broadway stage as a chorus member, and he subsequently spent three years with the Louis Mann company honing his acting skills while playing in stock -- Horton made his professional acting debut in 1908 with a walk-on role in The Man Who Stood Still. In those days, he also sang -- in a baritone -- and joined the Staten Island-based Dempsey Light Opera Company for productions of Michael Balfe's The Bohemian Girl and Gilbert & Sullivan's The Mikado.

Horton kept busy for more than 60 years, and not just in acting -- along with his brother George he bought up property in the San Fernando Valley from the 1920s onward, eventually assembling Beleigh Acres, a 23-acre development where he lived with his mother (who passed away at age 102). Amid his many roles over the ensuing decade, Horton worked in a half-dozen of the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers musicals at RKO.
Horton never married, and shared a home later in life with his sister, Hannabelle Grant.
