Rusian-born Marion Gering was a stage producer and director who came to
the US in 1924 as a member of a Soviet trade commission. Making
contacts in the theatrical community in Chicago, Gering put on the play
"Gas", which was very successful. He stayed in Chicago and founded the
Chicago Play Producing Co., which was also successful. He directed many
plays on Broadway before being summoned to Hollywood in 1931 by
Paramount, which placed him at the helm of many of Sylvia Sidney's pictures.
Gering's Hollywood career ended in the late 1930s, although he made
sporadic attempts to revive it over the next 20 years with foreign
productions, none of which were particularly successful.
