Ann Derson — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Ann Derson, who plays heavies in the Eaco Films with Edwin August, is an English actress.

Mr. August, while touring abroad, attended a performance at a repertoire theater, where Miss Derson was enacting a very dramatic role. Mr. August admired her work, but his activities prevented him from meeting her.

While securing players for the Eaco stock company he recognized her name on a nicely engraved card which was presented him. She was ushered into the office and explained that this was her first visit to this country and that she was desirous of becoming a photoplay actress. She was immediately engaged.

Miss Derson is of a retiring disposition and is an enthusiastic suffragette.

She insists upon showing all her friends photographs of her pet dog, which is a Pomeranian named “Romeo.”

A brilliant career appears to be in store for her.
