Frederick Truesdell — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸
Fred C. Truesdell’s life story reads from banker to the stage and from the leading man in “The Pink Lady” to leading parts in motion pictures.
Up in Quincy, Mich., is a fine old couple, who are mighty proud of their Fred. There, every one knows Mr. Truesdell, Sr., because he has one of those solid old country banks.
It was here that Eclair’s leading man made his start in the business world. At twenty he was assistant cashier in the bank.
Then came the “beau actor” idea, and for a number of years it was big companies, little companies, musical, drama and stock for Mr. Truesdell. He was three years with De Wolf Hopper and was with Alma, Where Do You Live? at Weber’s Theater, New York City, all during its year’s run. Last season he was with The Pink Lady.
Mr. Truesdell has been with Eclair for about a year and has made an enviable reputation for himself in this short period.
