Minna Gale

[7] "If there is a young lady in this land who wishes to look bewitching when mad, she must assiduously cultivate the Minna Gale pout," remarked one theatre writer in 1892.

[11][12] Broadway appearances by Gale included roles in The Triumph of Love (1904), The White Sister (1909, written by Francis Marion Crawford and starring Viola Allen),[13] A Celebrated Case (1915), The Pride of Race (1916),[14] A Tailor-Made Man (1917), The Outrageous Mrs. Palmer (1920), Tarzan of the Apes (1921), Golden Days (1921), and The Rubicon (1922).

Gale appeared in several silent films, including The Prisoner of Zenda (1913), Clothes (1914), The Port of Missing Men (1914), The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch (1914), The Dancing Girl (1915), and A Fool There Was (1915, with Theda Bara).

Minna K. Gale married insurance executive Archibald Cushman Haynes in 1892, as his second wife;[15][16] she was widowed when he died in 1912.

She died at home in Riverside, Connecticut in 1944, aged 74 years, survived by an adopted daughter, Dorothy Haynes Vollmer.
