Mignon Anderson — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1914) 🇺🇸

Mignon Anderson is a regular feminine “Desperate Desmond” — by that we don’t mean for a minute that she is cruel and villainous, but that she is desperate and daring — ready to assume risks to life and limb at a moment’s notice if it will add an extra thrill to the pictures.

Whenever a director at the Thanhouser studio has a scenario that calls for the performance of a difficult feat by the leading woman Mignon is the lady called upon.

Recently in “The Plot Against the Governor” she had to race an automobile at 50 miles an hour against a railroad train and win. More recently she had to jump from a second story window and catch hold of the bough of a tree on the way down.

What her next feat will be hasn’t yet been announced but that it will pull you out of your seat when you see it is a foregone conclusion for as already stated Mignon is a regular “Desperate Desmond.”
