Arthur Ashley — Real Tales About Reel Folk (1914) 🇺🇸

Arthur Ashley, formerly leading man for the Vitagraph, who recently joined the Thanhouser forces at New Rochelle, brings to the Mutual ranks a youthful and exceedingly attractive personality.

He will be featured in dramatic two-reel productions, and it is understood that he and Florence La Badie will be starred together. A public which already appreciates the rare quality of Miss La Badie’s work on the screen will be apt to demand an equally high standard of her new “opposite” — nor are that talented young actress’s admirers to be disappointed.

Mr. Ashley has a splendid record behind him — and a yet more brilliant future in prospect. He has the imagination and the physique for really big things, as well as the manliness and the education required to companion Miss La Badie’s refinement and charm. Wonderful team work may be expected of this congenial pair.

He will be seen for the first time in Thanhouser pictures in “The Winner Wins,” a two-reel release now in the making, which has an exciting auto race for its climax.
