John Larkins was an American stage and screen performer, as well as songwriter, whose acting career extended nearly four decades – from the late 1890s through his last acting roles in the five films released the year of his death. A scrapbook preserved at Atlanta's Emory University indicates that "he was billed as "The Rajah of Mirth" and "The Funniest Colored Comedian in the World".
