Josephine Earle

Born as Josephine MacEwan (sometimes listed as McEwan), she was of Scottish descent. Her first role was in New York as the Beauty in Henry W. Savage's production of ''Everywoman'' (1911–12). In late 1917 she accepted an invitation to go to England and appear in the stage production of '' The Lilac Domino''. After a very stormy passage she arrived mid December with bombs dropping on London; ''"I was really surprised when I arrived to find London was not nearly so black as it was painted in New York."'' At some point in mid 1919, she was snapped up by the Gaumont Film Company.Josephine Earle biodata jazzageclub.com; accessed January 24, 2018.

Lime Grove Studios
Lime Grove Studios was a film, and later television, studio complex in Shepherd's Bush, West London, England. The complex was built by the Gaumont Film Company in 1915. It was situated in Lime Grove, a residential street in Shepherd's Bush, and when it first opened was described by Gaumont as "the finest studio in Great Britain and the first building ever put up in this country solely for the production of films". Many Gainsborough Pictures films were made here from the early 1930s. Its sister studio was Islington Studios, also used by Gainsborough; films were often shot partly at Islington and partly at Lime Grove. In 1949, the complex was purchased by the BBC, who used it for television broadcasts until 1991. It was demolished in 1993. Gaumont-British Picture Corporation In 1922, Isidore Ostrer along with brothers Mark and Maurice, acquired control of Gaumont-British from its French parent.
