George Gaul

George Gaul (September 22, 1885 – October 6, 1939) was an American stage actor whose Broadway career spanned from 1909 to 1932. Born in Philadelphia to John Gall and his wife Rebecca, née Baxter, Gaul received his education at Lawrenceville Preparatory School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey before embarking on a professional life in the theater.

Gaul made his Broadway debut in 1909 in The Richest Girl and went on to build a substantial stage career over the following decades. During the course of his career he toured alongside notable performers including Billie Burke, Otis Skinner, and Charles Coburn. He appeared in The Silent Voice in 1914, followed by Seventeen and Jonathan Makes a Wish, both in 1918. His early 1920s credits included The Ouija Board and The Lady of the Lamp in 1920.

The 1920s represented a particularly active period for Gaul on the Broadway stage. He appeared in the Theatre Guild productions of The S.S. Tenacity and Back to Methuselah, and in 1922 originated the role of Chico in the Broadway production of Seventh Heaven. He appeared in Aloma of the South Seas in 1925 and took on the role of Faust in 1928. That same decade he performed in The Perfect Marriage and The Brothers Karamazoff among other productions.

Among his final Broadway appearances was Eugene O'Neill's Dynamo in 1929 and Troilus and Cressida in 1932, the year he made his last stage appearance. Gaul is not known to have appeared in motion pictures at any point during his career.
