Part of a fashion spread from Harpers Bazaar, October 1914, under the title "The stage as the mirror of fashion." Frederick models gowns by Drecoll.
Frederick in a dress by Drecoll, in a Photoplay fashion spread in the November 1915 issue. The dress was worn in the stage play Innocent in 1914-15. The caption reads: French Evening Gown of King's Blue chiffon, embroidered in gold over flesh-colored satin. This is Miss Frederick's own importation, and has just arrived from Paris. You can also see this dress in color on the cover of Motion Picture Magazine, July 1917 (thanks to Frederica) |

Here are scans of the front and back of aa publicity flier and program for a early 30s performance of the play "The Crimson Hour" at the Curran Theater in San Francisco, co-starry Huntly Gordon. Her very last stage performance was in this theater. This play seems to have escaped the notice of biographer Muriel Elwood, as did the earlier Curran performance of The Lady. I also added a PDF of this to the Internet Archive.
