Fred Wright, the younger, was referred to as "Jun" to distinguish him
from his father, also Frederick, a veteran actor and notable touring
actor-manager. He was a member of a distinguished English Theatrical
family. In addition to being the son of theatrical parents, he was the
brother of Huntley Wright, well known for his memorable hit as the
Chinaman in The Geisha at Daly's theatre under George Edwardes
management. Another brother, Bertie Wright, performed the same roles as
his brothers in George Edwardes provincial companies and all were well
known prominent comedians. His distinguished sister Haidee Wright was a
fine character actress whose heartrending performance as the the boy
Stephanus in The sign of the Cross was unforgettable. His sister Marie,
known professionally as Miss Howe Carew and also as Marie Wright, was
also a prominent actress both in the provinces and in London town.
