3 unusual facts about The Perils of Pauline


Crane Wilbur

When the company planned to make a serial, The Perils of Pauline, in 1914, Wilbur wanted the lead male role that would pair him with Pearl White.

Crane Wilbur was a prolific writer and director of at least 67 films from the silent era into the sound era, but it was as an actor that he found lasting recognition, particularly playing opposite Pearl White in the iconoclastic serial, The Perils of Pauline.

Wilbur is best remembered for playing Harry Marvin in The Perils of Pauline.
