Gertrude Bryan (July 22, 1888 – May 24, 1976) was an American stage actress who appeared on Broadway in the early 20th century.

[5] A doctor came to her dressing room and bandaged her leg in a manner that caused her pain throughout the performance.

Her manager boasted that she found the correct pantomime at the right time without requiring stage direction.

He wrote that she possesses a charming personality and although her voice is somewhat light she sings with dainty grace and shines most conspicuously as an actress.

Her previous experience as an actress consisted of a role in a musical comedy entitled The Wife Tamers and depicting the part of Sonia in Merry Widow.

The cast made a run of the eastern cities of the United States starting in August.

Bryan returned to acting in 1924 in a vaudeville musical comedy produced by Guy Bolton and P.G.

[8] Gertrude Lawrence starred in this Broadway presentation which was adapted from a novel and serialized in a magazine under a different title.

Bryan married next a New York stockbroker, Charles Maitland Fair, at the home of her mother in Red Bank, New Jersey, in October 1913.

She confessed to being a tomboy, having worn trousers and long boots on fishing trips with her father in her youth.
