Mayme Gehrue (born c. 1880,[1][2] died after May 1929[3]) was an American actress and dancer in musical theatre, vaudeville, and silent film.

[6][7] Gehrue appeared on Broadway in Little Red Riding Hood (1900), The Casino Girl (1900),[8] Nell-Go-In (1900), The Giddy Throng (1901), The King's Carnival (1901), Hoity Toity (1901–1902), Lovers and Lunatics (1906),[9] The Deacon and the Lady (1910),[10] and The Opera Ball (1912).

She also toured with The Ford Dancers,[11][12] as "the Yama-Yama Girl" in Three Twins (1910–1911),[13][14] and in Topsy and Eva (1923), a musical comedy based on Uncle Tom's Cabin.

[15] She was frequently on the vaudeville stage[16] well into the late 1920s,[17][18] in the United States and abroad, including a tour in Australia; "to-day she is recognized as one of America's foremost dancing comediennes," noted a 1909 report.

She wrote the lyrics to several World War I-era songs, including "I'm Leaving France for my Old Kentucky Home",[21] "I Wish to Wed a Sammy",[22] "Military Band",[23] "The Man of the Hour", "Dear Little Jessamine",[24] "Over in Spain", and "Back Down South",[25] all with music by Victor Hammond.
