Thanhouser’s Triple Coup — George Foster Platt (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.
George Foster Platt comes to Thanhouser’s from the world of the speaking stage, having recently held the position of stage director of modern plays at the New Theater, New York. At this famous institution of dramatic art he produced The Bluebird, Strife, The Witch and other plays. He was chosen for that place because of a career remarkable for its succession of notable achievements. It is a peculiar coincidence that he should join Mr. Thanhouser for it was just about ten years ago that Mr. Platt was stage manager for the Thanhouser Stock in Milwaukee.
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.
