Talk:Anne of Green Gables (1919 film)

Two Gilberts in 1919 film
Do you know why was Gilbert portrayed by two actors in one film? According to film cast on IMDb (also we have the same cast here), Gilbert was portrayed by Paul Kelly and George Stewart. Mary Miles Minter was 16/17 years old during the filming of this film. Paul Kelly was 20 and George was 31. It is logical that Paul played Gilbert (you can see him in promo pictures). What about George? He was too old...

I read a review by Montgomery and she mentioned Anne's studies at Queen's and also her teaching at Avonlea school. They probably put together Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. But in the books, Gilbert was 19 years old when Anne taught in Avonlea. So why 31 years old actor?
