Biography
Oakland, California welcomed Carlyle Moore on 17 June 1875, and from that day forward he carried stories in his bones. By the 1910s he was shaping silent-era pictures—first as the assistant director who kept chaos at bay, then as the mind that stitched plots together. Audiences laughed at his snappy scenarios for Stop Thief! (1915), returned for the caper’s 1920 remake Stop Thief, and shivered through the sci-fi mystery of The Unknown Purple (1923). Off-set, he traded script pages for vows with Ethelyn Palmer. Half a century after his birth, on 26 June 1924, the final reel rolled in Milford, New Jersey, but the flicker of his storytelling still lights the screen.
