GALE HENRY—SIGNED PHOTO—SILENT COMEDY STAR+THIN MAN’s Asta Trainer

Description: SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO Gale Henry (April 15, 1893 – June 17, 1972) was a film actor writer comedian and producer . A prominent comic star, she appeared in more than 230 films between 1914 and 1933. At one time billed as 'the elongated comedienne,” Henry was even suggested to have served as a model for 'Olive Oyl' of Popeye comic strip fame. An actual cartoon version of her was in fact featured in the British publication Film Fun. Gale started as a singer for the Temple Opera Company at the Century Theatre in Los Angeles. On screen from 1914, she first starred in a series of short comedies for independent producer Pat Powers, followed by the 'Joker' series at Universal opposite Augustus Carney and Billy Franey. From 1918, she fronted her own production unit, turning out 'Model' comedies, directed by her then-husband — he died in 1926– Bruno C. Becker. These were made at facilities located at Santa Monica Boulevard and subsequently distributed by Reelcraft. By the mid-1920's, Gale had eased into supporting roles, playing what were then characterized as old maids, harpies and hen-pecking wives in two-reelers for Joe Rock and Al Christie. She made a full comeback at the end of the decade, marvelously co-starring in Charley Chase vehicles for Hal Roach, among which the most memorable entries were His Wooden Wedding (1925) and Mighty Like a Moose (1926). She also had a notable supporting role in Merton of the Movies (1924). Personal details of her life remain sketchy, but, by the time Becker died in 1926, Gale had wed the animal trainer Henry East, a former MGM prop man. Thus, she embarked on a secondary career as co-owner of East Kennels. Their most famous charge was Skippy, a wire-haired terrier born in 1931, who rose to celluloid fame as the lovable Asta of The Thin Man (1934), and its sequels. Spread over two acres on the outer edge of Hollywood, the East kennels trained the most celebrated dog stars in the movies.
