Paul Gilmore (1873 – 1962) was a popular stage actor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who also appeared in no fewer than 10 silent films. Additionally, he owned and managed for many years the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York City – giving work to such future stars as Robert Walker Sr.,〔Modern Screen, Jan/Feb. 1946〕 Jennifer Jones 〔Duluth Herald, Aug. 6, 1944〕 and Carl Reiner.〔Jewish News Weekly, Oct. 15, 1999〕 In his declining years, he and his daughter, Virginia, operated the Gilmore Summer Stock Theatre in Duluth, Minnesota. ==Early career== Paul Howard Gilmore was born July 14, 1873, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.〔Blue Book of Players, by A.D. Storm, 1901, pg. 218〕 His parents intended him to pursue a law career, but as a teenager Gilmore developed an interest in acting when he performed in amateur plays at Milwaukee's Grand Opera House, which was owned by his successful publisher father.〔"How Chance Made Paul Gilmore An Actor," San Antonio Sunday Light, San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 21, 1906 page 4〕 Theatrical producer Jacob Litt saw Gilmore perform and, in 1891, offered him a role in his traveling show, ''The Ensign.'' On a lark, Gilmore accepted, intending to stay with the company for a few weeks and then return home to study law. He never did, instead continuing to perform with Litt's players in a number of successful productions that included ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' and ''In Old Kentucky.''〔 Gilmore quickly rose to leading man status. His clean-cut features, expressive brown eyes and shock of dark, wavy hair netted him many romantic roles, and his penchant for fine attire earned him a reputation as “the youngest, best-dressed leading man on the American stage.".〔"In New York," by George Ross, The Lowell Sun, Lowell, Mass., Oct. 24, 1936, pg. 14〕 By 1896 he had left Litt's Players and gained stature with Charles Frohman in plays such as ''The Wife,'' ''Americans Abroad'' and ''Sweet Lavender.''〔The Telegram, Eau Claire, Wisc., Nov. 1, 1896, pg. 2〕
