Phi Gamma Delta in the movies? You bet. Brothers have graced the silver screen since the early days of silent movies, and continue to work both in front of and behind the camera. Others appear on television or the stage.

Before listing Phi Gam stars, we must remember Mae Evelynne and her daughter, Ms. Pearl Sindelar. Mae Evelynne was the stage name of Molly McCarty (Mrs. Tinker), daughter of FounderJohn Templeton McCarty (Jefferson 1948). Both Mae and her daughter performed on stage and, less frequently, on camera during the early days of film. In Mae Evelynne's retirement until her death in 1943, Phi Gamma Delta supported her with a monthly pension. Mae and Mrs. Sindelar donated to the Archives many relics of Brother McCarty's life in pioneer California. Mae Evelynne even attended the 1938 Ekklesia in Portland.

See a list of films staring McCarty's granddaughter Pearl Sindelar. Can anyone find any film titles starring Mae Evelynne?
