Jessalyn Van Trump — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Jessalyn Van Trump is the girl in “Flying A” pictures who plays the “little sister” to such advantage. She can be a very good little sister or a very bad little sister, whatever the scenario writer and Jack Richardson wish to make her.

For she and Mr. Richardson [Jack Richardson] form a convincing duo and, with Kerrigan [J. Warren Kerrigan] and Miss Bush [Pauline Bush] ever ready to come to the rescue, comprise a screen quartet ever in favor.

Miss Van Trump has a number of leads to her credit and is best in emotional roles. Out at the ranch studio in Santa Barbara, she is in her element, as California is her home state and she has always been used to an out-of-door life.

She has been with the American Company one year and had had no previous experience in picture work. Theatricals, throughout the west, though, knew her well.

Miss Jessalyn is also of the dark type, having lovely dark hair, brown eyes and a rich olive complexion.
