Gertie Brown Moore (born Gilberta Gertrude Chevalier, August 23, 1878 – February 24, 1934) was a vaudeville performer and one of the first African-American film actresses.

[1] In the 1890s, she performed alongside well-known composer and entertainer Saint Suttle (1870-1932) in vaudeville and minstrel shows in the Chicago area and nationally.

[2][3][4][5] Suttle, Brown, and John and Maud Brewster performed as a group called "The Rag-Time Four" that was responsible for popularizing a variation of the cakewalk dance.

Billed as Tim & Gertie Moore, the couple toured vaudeville circuits across the United States, New Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands,[8] and Australia and received acclaim as an "exceptionally clever" pair.

[3][4] In 2022 it was included in the exhibition Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898–1971 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, USA.
