- Sir Gilbert Parker--the popular Canadian novelist, short-story writer and poet who rose from backwoods obscurity to the seats of the mighty in the British Empire--was born on November 23, 1862, in Camden East, Addington, Ontario, to Royal Army Capt. J. Parker and his wife. After attending school in Ottawa and matriculating at Toronto's Trinity University, Parker moved to Australia in 1886, serving as an associate editor on the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. His travels took him throughout the Pacific. Subsequently, after his return to Canada, he extensively journeyed through northern Canada
Parker was a contemporary of the poet and short story writer Sir Charles G.D. Roberts, the first writer to express the new nationalism that resulted from the confederation of Britain's North American provinces into Canada in 1867. Roberts' work inspired a nationalist school of Canadian poets in the late 19th century.
Parker's works typically dealt with Canadian history, and later with England and the British Empire. Moving to England in 1889, he made his literary reputation with romantic novels and short stories "aboot" Canada, and with historical novels such as his 1896 depiction of the court of King Louis XV, "The Seats of the Mighty" (made into a film in 1914, The Seats of the Mighty (1914), starring Lionel Barrymore)). His finest works deal with French-Canadian life and history, such as "Pierre and His People" (1892) (dramatized on Broadway by Edgar Selwyn, and filmed in 1914 as Pierre of the Plains (1914), remade in 1942 as Pierre of the Plains (1942))). Though he wrote of England and the Empire, starting in 1898 with "The Battle of the Strong," it is for his Canadian stories that he is still remembered into the 21st century, due to their high quality, fine descriptions and gripping drama. The short story collection published in 1900, "The Lane that had no Turning," contains some of his finest work, including the title story.
In 1895 Parker married a wealthy American heiress of New York's Van Tine family. His politics were strongly imperial, and in 1900 he was elected to Parliament as a Conservative member for Gravesend on the Unionist ticket. Parker was knighted in 1902, and although he still kept writing, most of his energies became absorbed by politics. A champion of Imperial Preference Trade and Tariff Reform, his power in the House of Commons began to wax, and by 1910 he was a figure to be reckoned with. He was, according to political observers, one of the most powerful Unionist politicians not serving in the government. He would serve a total of 18 years in Parliament, being re-elected in 1906 and again in 1910.
The quality of his literary output suffered from devoting so much energy to politics, but he was influential by investing the Imperialist movement with a great deal of enthusiasm. Parker cracked the top 10 best sellers list in the U.S. after becoming an M.P., with "The Weavers", which ranked #2 in 1907 and #10 in 1908, and "The Judgement House," which made it to #7 in 1913. His contemporaries on the list included Winston Churchill (the American writer, not the English politician-writer who became Prime Minister in 1940), Edna Ferber and Booth Tarkington.

At Århus Teater 1901-1905 where she enjoyed great success in numerous operettas. Her father had committed suicide when she was only nine. Her first husband - also and actor - was 20 years her senior but with a fiercely jealous streak. When he saw Gerda's success on stage with her singing partner, he drew a gun on her back at their hotel room. He missed her twice but then turned the gun on himself and died mortally wounded. She enjoyed a few happy years with her second husband - a barrister - but that soon changed when their 15 year old daughter was killed in a motorbike accident. Her husband got so depressed that he put a gun to his head. The attempt failed and he lost his eye-sight. Gerda retired to nurse him for the rest of his life. Her career at Nordisk Film was very promising (she made two appearances with Valdemar Psilander) but this vivacious actress made only half a dozen films between 1911 and 1914.

Walter Hampden was one of the great American stage actors and the only performer, aside from Maurice Evans, to play Hamlet three times on Broadway in the post-World War I-era. Born Walter Hampden Dougherty on June 30, 1879, in Brooklyn, New York, he learned his craft in London, where he made his debut as a professional actor in 1901 with the Frank Benson Stock Company. He spent six years apprenticing in England, where he was thoroughly trained as a classical actor. When he returned to the US in 1907, he toured with the great Russian actress Alla Nazimova in a presentation of the plays of Henrik Ibsen.
Hampden played "Hamlet" on Broadway in 1918-1919, in 1925 (with Ethel Barrymore as his Ophelia at his own Hampden's Theatre), and in 1934. His greatest role was that of Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac," a part he first performed in 1923 and that he repeated four more times on the Great White Way.
In 1925 he took over management of the Colonial Theatre, a vaudeville house on Upper Broadway, and renamed it Hampden's Theatre. After christening his house with his second Hamlet on October 10, 1925, he played there with his own company through 1930. Later, Hampden helped launch the American Repertory Theatre, playing Cardinal Wolsey in William Shakespeare's "Henry VIII."
Hampden became revered as the grand old man of the American theater. He was president of the Players' Club for 27 years. His last distinguished role on Broadway was in Arthur Millers parable of McCarthyism, "The Crucible," capping a career that spanned a half-century.
Walter Hampden died on June 11, 1955, just three weeks shy of his 76th birthday.- Visual Effects
