Talk:Clay Clement

Multiple Clay Clements
I predicted that the images I uploaded of "Clay Clement" were referencing the wrong man by the right name (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Clay_Clement). The question is, considering we have such great images now of Clay Clement, Sr., does he merit his own article? --Rob at Houghton (talk) 13:29, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

There are actually 3 or 4 people in the theater by that name, all related. Clay Clement Sr died in 1910 and is the father of Clay Clement Jr who has an article. Sr. was a well know playwright, actor, director, producer, and author of his own plays. The son of Clay Clement Jr, also Clay Clement on stage, was in the theater as a child and young adult but left for a different career. Clay G. Clement the great-grandson of Clay Jr worked on production of one movie. There is an article about this family on Archive.org written my me, the grandson of Clay Jr. It needs some updating as Mary Frey, Clay Jr's wife, died in 1947 in Manhattan according to the death certificate that I recently discovered. I knew she died when I was 3 and I had assumed 1946. Mary was a well known actress in her own right and was in some good plays as well as "Night of Terror" a movie where she played the Hindu wife of Bela Lugosi. According to IMDB Clay Jr spanned the silent movie era all the way to early television. Just doing a search on Clay Clement Actor brings up many newspaper articles as well as IMDB and IBDB hits. Clay Sr. had 3 wives, but only one child by the first, Matti Marshall. Another theater connection is that Clay Clement Jr knew Arthur Vinton in Hollywood and Arthur's stepdaughter married John Clement Sr., Clay's only son. Arthur was in many plays and movies as well radio. He was a regular on "The Shadow". Clay Sr's wives were all actresses and the two who survived him continued in the theater and movies.

My article gives the complete information about the various members of the Clay Clement clan with pictures and also images of a number of newspaper articles. The articles were mostly missing the identification banners, but similar articles can be found on the web all over the place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClementJ (talk • contribs) 20:28, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
