Father And The Boys
''Father and the Boys'' is a 1915 American silent comedy film directed by Joe De Grasse, written by Ida May Park, and co-starring Lon Chaney and Digby Bell. It is based on a popular 1908 Broadway play produced by Charles Frohman, called ''Father and the Boys'' by George Ade. This was Louise Lovely's American film debut after emigrating from Australia. She made a total of 8 films with Chaney during this time period. Digby Bell reprised his Broadway role as Lemuel Morewood in the film (this was his first film role). Louise Lovely's role of Bessie Brayton was played by Margaret Dale in the play. The makeup-savvy Bell befriended Chaney on the set of this film and the two were seen trading makeup tips behind the scenes. After ''Richelieu'' (1914), this was Lon Chaney's 2nd appearance in a full-length feature film, running approximately 50 minutes, much longer than the shorts he had been appearing in for Universal. A still exists which shows Chaney in the role of Tuck Bartholomew. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
