Meet Fred Thomson -- March 18, 2024

Motion Picture News, 22-March-1924

Fred Thomson (no relation) had a diverse career. While attending the Princeton Theological Seminary, he earned the Amateur Athletic Union's All-Around Champion trophy in 1910, 1911 and 1913. After being ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he joined the Army and served as a chaplain during World War One. He went into the movie business after he married director and screenwriter Frances Marion. In time, he became a major western star. Sadly, he died of tetanus in 1928.

FBO announced plans to release six movies starring Thomson.

Galloping Gallagher is a great title. 

This Monogram apparently had no relation to the famous B-movie studio of the 1930s and 1940s.

Both Galloping Gallagher and The Mask of Lopez were directed by Albert S Rogell.
