Clifford Bruce’s perfect composure and self-control before the Pathé camera was attained through years of success on the legitimate stage.

He was leading man with Charles Frohman for four years; played Kyrle Bellew’s part in The Thief with a special company; spent two years as leading man with William Gillette on his farewell tour; and was featured at the Alcazar Theater with Nance O’Neill. In addition to this invaluable road experience he played the lead in stock companies in Washington, Baltimore, and the Manhattan Opera House in New York.

Like many other well known actors Mr. Bruce recognized the unusual opportunities and the unlimited field for dramatic ability offered by motion pictures and which the speaking stage can never hope to equal. He grasped the first chance to enter the film game and his work is now watched with interest by a vast army of picture fans.
