(World War 1 battle action, gangster life, a love triangle...)
World War 1 battle action, gangster life, a love triangle and antiwar elements combine in They Gave Him a Gun, directed by WS. Van Dyke II (The Thin Man). As the story opens, worldly-wise Fred takes naive Jimmy under his wing at boot camp, helping the gun-shy youth he calls Hayseed adapt to the army. The two friends see action in the trenches, and Jimmy uses the marksmanship he developed to wipe out enemy machine gunners. Jimmy gets medals...and Rose, the nurse who agrees to marry Jimmy after she erroneously believes Fred has been killed in battle. Postwar, Jimmy is no longer reticent about guns and secretly is a mob hit man. Then Fred inadvertently encounters his old army pal, setting in motion events that put Jimmy’s marriage and life in the balance. Spencer Tracy gives a firm, compelling performance as Fred; Franchot Tone plays Jimmy, and, in a role that mirrors her later work in The Roaring Twenties, Gladys George is Rose.

(Gladys George, a superlative actress often wasted in seco...)
Gladys George, a superlative actress often wasted in secondary roles, carries her starring assignment in Valiant is the Word for Carrie with singular brilliance. George plays the town trollop, who for the love of two orphaned children sets up a successful dry-cleaning business. Her past comes back to haunt her, but she perseveres, giving up all thoughts of personal happiness to provide a decent upbringing for her adopted family. A real four-hanky film, Valiant is the Word for Carrie might never have been made if it hadn't been for Mae West. Paramount had signed Gladys George to star in a filmization of her stage hit Personal Appearance, but this property was deflected to Ms. West and retitled Go West, Young Man. As compensation, Gladys George was offered Carrie--and she certainly made the most of this rebound opportunity.

George was born on September 13, 1904 in Patten, Maine, the daughter of Arthur Evans Clare, a transplanted English actor who claimed to have been knighted by Edward VII, and Alice Josephine Hazen, daughter of a Boston watchmaker, who followed her husband to the stage.
Gladys made her debut at the age of three in Waterbury, Connecticut, in her parents' stock company. Her limited formal education was supplemented by touring the United States and Canada with her parents, playing in theaters, halls, and barns - and even on railway platforms. By the age of eighteen she had reputedly appeared in over 200 plays. The family's theatrical staple was a mixture of melodrama and vaudeville entitled The Dream Doll. Written by her father, it concerned a child who appeared in the sleep of a troubled couple to bring them happiness. In the title role, Gladys emoted, sang, and danced so successfully that her father renamed the act Little Gladys George and Company. George's rootless childhood in a second-rate stage family left memories of stints with medicine shows and stopgap jobs as maid and waitress. Expecting to receive a legacy from England, her father took the family to New York, where George made her debut in Winthrop Ames's production of Maeterlinck's The Betrothal (1918). George appeared in The Better 'Ole (1919) in Los Angeles, and her performance drew the small, slight, hazel-eyed actress a film offer from producer Thomas Ince. She appeared in seven mediocre films (1919-1921), until she burned her face severely in a cooking accident. After recovering, she returned to stock theater and appeared as a leading lady in Pittsburgh with the George Sharp Players in Strange Interlude, with the Wilkes Players in Salt Lake City (1927-1928), at the Alcazar Theater in San Francisco, and with the National Dramatic Players in Boston. In 1934 George returned to Broadway in Queer People. A few months later producer Brock Pemberton saw her in The Milky Way and recognized her suitability for the comic lead in Personal Appearance. As the tempestuous blonde movie star Carole Arden, George created a vivid portrait that both satirized and gently admired its object. The critics praised her sense of satire, her droll facial expressions, and her uproarious parody of a vacuous but warmblooded stereotyped movie star. Personal Appearance ran for sixty-two weeks on Broadway and for twenty-three weeks on tour. The blonde hair and husky voice that George used as Carole Arden persisted throughout her career, but nothing else she did rivaled that portrayal. After the play closed, she returned to the Hollywood she had so brilliantly parodied, and thereafter appeared on the legitimate stage only in Lady in Waiting (1940); in The Distant City (1941); and in The Skin of Our Teeth (1943), succeeding Miriam Hopkins as Sabrina. Between 1936 and 1953, George appeared in thirty-two motion pictures, including Valiant Is the Word for Carrie (1936), They Gave Him a Gun (1937), Madame X (1937), Marie Antoinette (1938), The Roaring Twenties (1939), The House Across the Bay (1940), The Way of All Flesh (1940), Lullaby of Broadway (1951), and It Happens Every Thursday (1953). Her roles, as tragic heroines in costume dramas, romantic leads, tough blondes, and sodden old women, afforded her little opportunity to play the type of social comedy that she did best. Her career declined during her last years, and she died of a cerebral hemorrhage in Hollywood, California.

George was married and divorced four times: to Arthur Erway, an actor; to paper manufacturer Edward H. Fowler, whom she married in December 1933; to Leonard Penn, an actor whom she married on September 18, 1935; and to Kenneth C. Bradley, a hotel bellboy whom she married on July 1, 1946. She had no children.
