Charles Fleming — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Charles Fleming left Canada, the country of snow-shoes and log-fires, for New York and St. John’s College, Fordham, where he was graduated with honors and a deep love for books.

The latter he inherited from his mother, May Agnes Fleming, whose novels were the “best sellers” of their day. An opening in a dramatic company was offered Mr. Fleming, about the time he had packed his sheepskin away and decided that a career somewhere in the workaday world awaited him and he accepted the offer with thanks. Years of work with William Crane, John Drew, Lena Ashwell, Nance O’Neill and other stars followed, besides much stock work.

Then broke the day of the motion picture and Mr. Fleming worked in the front ranks of the Imp and Majestic companies, under Mr. Miles’ [David Miles] direction. Recently Mr. Miles affiliated with the Kinemacolor company.
