SIGNED photograph of Actress, Allene Ray (active in films 1920-1931); Reverse side of photo is blank.Ray became a serial heroine for Pathe Pictures, acting and performing stunts that included riding her horse, "teetering on the roofs of buildings and jumping into lakes".She explained during an interview in 1978 that the company did not hire stunt people; each actor and actress had to do his or her stunts.Her screen credits include Honeymoon Ranch (1920), West of the Rio Grande (1921) and Partners of the Sunset (1922). The latter she made for the Lubin Corporation. In making The Fortieth Door (1924), Ray decided to wear a brunette wig as the film featured an Egyptian heroine. She was teamed with action star Walter Miller for a long string of serials, including The Way of a Man (1924), Sunken Silver (1925), Hawk of the Hills (1927), and The Black Book (1929).The Miller-Ray partnership ended abruptly in 1929, when the new talking-picture technology revealed that Ray's high, piping voice didn't fit her adventurous screen personality.Allene Ray did make a few talking pictures, playing undemanding ingenue roles in only five more films: the first talking B-Western feature Overland Bound (1929), the first talking Western serial The Indians Are Coming (1930), Westward Bound (1930), Gun Cargo (filmed in 1930, unreleased until 1949), and The Phantom (1931).Partial filmographyYour Friend and Mine (1923)Times Have Changed (1923)The Way of a Man (1924)The Fortieth Door (1924)Ten Scars Make a Man (1924)Galloping Hoofs (1924)Sunken Silver (1925)Play Ball (1925)The Green Archer (1925)Snowed In (1926)The House Without a Key (1926)Melting Millions (1927)Hawk of the Hills (1927)The Man Without a Face (1928)The Yellow Cameo (1928)The Terrible People (1928)Overland Bound (1929)The Black Book (1929)The Indians Are Coming (1930)Westward Bound (1930)The Phantom (1931)Your purchase benefits literacy and summer reading programs in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio.
