Arthur Henry Rooke (18 May 1878 – 1947) was a British actor and film director of the silent era. Rooke had worked in the theatre for many years before he went into films. He initially co-directed several films with A.E. Coleby, but later began directing films by himself. By the early 1920s, he was one of the more successful British film directors.
