Hugh Trevor

Hugh Trevor

A distant relative of producer William LeBaron, handsome, dark-haired Hugh Trevor had worked in advertising and the insurance business prior to making his screen debut for FBO in 1927, his screen test reportedly having been directed by Richard Dix. The collegiate type, Trevor supported FBO's answer to Rin-Tin-Tin, Ranger, in the action melodrama Ranger of the North (1927) and co-starred with Duane Thompson in the varsity comedy-drama Her Summer Hero (1928). Pleasant if unimportant stuff, but Trevor's screen career went into an immediate decline after the changeover to sound. His final film was Lowell Sherman's The Queen's Bed (1931), as the Crown Prince. His early death was attributed to complications following an appendectomy. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide
