Description

Marguerite Clark played both the prince and the pauper in the 1915 film Prince and the Pauper. This demonstrates, further, that while men and women had very separate gender roles and dress in society, it was acceptable for women to play men in the early days of cinema, as they did in the theater. Clark was one of the biggest stars of the day.
