Drayton worked in a brewery when he was 18 but having a good deal of amateur dramatics experience decided to go on stage. His first appearance on stage was The Beloved Vagabond at Cardiff in 1908 and his London debut was at the Haymarket Theatre the following year. He featured in several West End plays before going into films, including Dear Brutus in 1922.

On both screen and stage he had a successful partnership with the actor Robertson Hare a veteran of the Aldwych Farces. He was appearing with Hare in the play One Wild Oat at the Garrick Theatre at the time of his death in 1949.

Filmography

gollark: I'll probably only add it if/when it gets stuck in a loop trying to send to nonexistent channels.
gollark: Maybe it tries, in priority order:- other channels on the same server- direct messages to the user- other channels on any servers they're in- other channels on any server whatsoever- random people in the queue for reminders
gollark: I should really have some counterapiomeasures in place if a channel/server doesn't exist when it tries to remind someone.
gollark: ++remind 1y6mo take over server
gollark: ++remind 122d23h50m launch counterbees.
