Biography
Minneapolis greeted a future screen presence on 24 March 1876: Jere Austin. From that Midwestern beginning, he carved a niche in early cinema, commanding attention in The School for Scandal (1914), tangling audiences in The Trap (1919), and raising stakes in The Desperate Game (1925). Hollywood claimed him back on 12 November 1927, closing the curtain on a life lived between Minnesota’s snows and California’s spotlights.
