Svend Gade(1877-1952)
- Writer

- Art Director
A former stage actor and director in his native Denmark, Sven Gade
began making films there in 1916. He traveled to Germany a few years
later to direct a film version of Hamlet (Hamlet (1921)), then journeyed to
Hollywood the next year. He designed sets for other directors' films
and directed several of his own, but returned to Denmark in 1928. His
career was unable to survive the transition to sound films, and he
returned to the stage, where he remained until his
retirement.
