Thanhouser’s Triple Coup — Frederic Sullivan (1915) 🇺🇸
Secures the services of three well known picture workers.
Now the big announcements are beginning to issue from New Rochelle. The long arm of Thanhouser [Edwin Thanhouser] is reaching out for material and the first additions are there, at work. They are Miss Lorraine Huling and Messrs. George Foster Platt and Frederic Sullivan. The lady is an ingénue and the gentlemen are on the staff of directors.
Frederic Sullivan’s appearance at New Rochelle is really a re-engagement, for until about half a year ago he was a producer of Thanhouser films. Previous to that he was with the Reliance forces and his stage experience is very much in support of the Thanhouser policy. In the legitimate he has directed such stars as Blanche Bates, Rose Coghlan, Blanche Walsh, John Mason, Herbert Kelcey and Effie Shannon. A great many of his plays were under Liebler [Liebler & Company] and Klaw & Erlanger management, ranging from musical comedy to the drama, The Candy Man, In the Bishop’s Carriage, The Truth Tellers, The Two Weatherbys, and others, reaching a total of four hundred plays that cover only his stock experience.
It is said at New Rochelle that these announcements are only the beginning; that some of the moves in contemplation will be startling in the quality of talent which they will add to the Thanhouser roster.
