White, Pearl (English spelling) WhitePearl

…American serials were linked to newspaper fiction and were supported by daily newspapers, which competed to publish novels that could be adapted into films on weekends. In order to overpower the Hearst-affiliated Chicago American, the Chicago Tribune teamed up with William Selig, who had created the first Hollywood studio in 1909, to produce America's first serial, The Perils of Pauline (1913), a 15-episode series starring the "fearless girl" Kathleen Williams, which was shown in 13 parts from January to May 1914. Meanwhile, the Chicago American teamed up with Pathé to release the 20-episode adventure melodrama The Perils of Pauline (1914), starring Pearl White (1889-1938) and directed by Louis Gasnier (1878-1963), from April to December. The phenomenal success of "Pauline's Peril" led Pathé, which planned to produce six serials a year, to follow up with a hit with "The Fist (Hélène's Honor)" (1915), starring White, and other companies began competing to produce serials.
