GERTRUDE SELBY
The silent film actress looks happily at the camera in her velvet coat and hat with an armful of flowers in 7x9 photograph, signs name in black ink. Extremely rare!
Photograph signed: "Sincerely/ Gertrude Selby" in black ink. Sepia, 7x9. Silent film actress Gertrude Selby (1890-1975) began acting in 1914 and in the next five years she appeared in fifty films, mostly as the lead comedienne for Henry Lerman's L-KO Motion Picture Company and his Sunshine Comedies. Her movie credits include films such as Gertie's Joy Ride (1915), Lured But Cured (1916) and Neptune's Step-Daughter (1920). Selby married Chicago department store heir Townsend Netcher in 1919 which kept her from acting until their marriage ended in 1928. She spent the 1930 in Europe with her mother and sister, narrowly escaping Spain before the Spanish revolution and finally settling in New York before the outbreak of WWII. She later married George Gashet and spent the rest of her life socializing with the rich and famous until her death. Only a handful of Selby's films are still in existence. Toned. Puncture holes in top margin. Torn in bottom left corner. Light surface creases. Lightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
