Golden Rule Kate

Golden Rule Kate is a 1917 American silent western drama film starring Louise Glaum, William Conklin, Jack Richardson, Mildred Harris, and John Gilbert. It was directed by Reginald Barker from a story written by Monte M. Katterjohn and produced and distributed by the Triangle Film Corporation. The title role in this feature length western was a big departure for Glaum. One of the leading vamps of the mid 1910s—who played wicked dance hall girls in several westerns opposite William S. Hart—she stars here as the heroine, playing a female Bill Hart, with two pistols, before such roles were common among women.
