Gene Gauntier — Motography’s Gallery of Picture Players (1913) 🇺🇸

Gene Gauntier was born and raised in the heart of Missouri and when she left home to take a small part on the stage, all the people of her little home town thought it quite the most awful thing that had befallen the town in nobody-could-remember-when.

But Gene knew what she wanted to do and did it so well that now, a certain little town in Missouri makes a big night of it when a Gauntier film is being shown there.

Quite the biggest thing she has done, she admits, is “From the Manger to the Cross,” the five-reel Kalem story which Miss Gauntier put into scenario form herself.

The inspiration for it came to her when she was taken ill in the Holy Land and by the time she was ready to proceed with her film work, the five-reel story was ready also.

Miss Gauntier is entertaining now through the medium of Warners’ Features and it was for new inspiration that she took her company to Ireland.
