Frank A Duc (Duke) 
Added by CharlesDuke24 on 28 May 2008 
Frank A. (Duc) Duke was born in New York about 1902. He used his given name 
(Frank A. Duc) for his theater name and Frank A Duke for the census and legal 
records. His mother was French and his father French Canadian. He moved to 
Philadelphia and married Edna Kline. He had Francis Duke (son), who was 
originally named Frank Duke and later Charles Francis Duke. After he lost 
child custody in a divorce, he disappeared. His family is searching to find 
out what happened to him. During his time as a vaudeville actor, he performed 
with Welch's Minstrels. He performed at the Steel Pier (Young's Million Dollar 
Theatre)in Atlantic City, the Orpheum, and Keswick Theatres. There is also a 
review of a movie or theater performance for "Street of Chance," during the 
1930's where his singing was commended by a columnist.
