Francis X. Bushman — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1912) 🇺🇸

Francis X. Bushman, leading man of Essanay’s eastern stock company, is a handsome chap, and has had vide experience in all branches of theatrical work on the legitimate stage.

He is adept in the art of make-up, and his remarkable versatility in portraying character has won him instant recognition from the most critical of critics and keen observers.

Bushman is an all-around athlete and an expert wrestler, boxer, swimmer, horseman and swordsman.

He is seen in some very fine roles in such recent productions as “White Roses,” “The Butterfly Net,” “The Understudy,” “Her Hour of Triumph,” “The New Church Organ,” “The Magic Wand,” and “Twilight,” a recent dramatic release.

His face is familiar to all patrons of the picture show.

Personally he has a very wide circle of acquaintances, with whom he is extremely popular for his many natural charms of manner and his capacity for friendship.
