Alexander Gaden on AllMovie

Canadian actor Alexander Gaden had appeared in stock throughout Canada and the U.S., "playing over 500 parts," prior to entering films with Famous Player in 1913. He became a star with the American arm of the French Gaumont company, headlining such melodramas as The Unbroken Road (1915), in which he forces his ward into a favorable marriage and The Drifter (1916), as a divinity student saved from disgrace by the love of an innocent girl. Busy during World War I, Gaden only appeared sporadically in films thereafter.
