Lorraine Eason Movies

This romantic silent comedy was produced by small time Trinity Pictures, according to whom the answer to the title's question was a resounding: Yes! Wealthy Buddy Shaw is fought over by scheming Lorraine Eason and pretty but naive Pauline Garon. The former attempts to win the boy away from the latter by placing him in a compromising situation in an isolated mountain cabin. Miss Garon, however, smells a rat and pulls a few tricks of her own. The only "name" in the cast, Pauline Garon was a 1923 WAMPAS Baby Star who enjoyed a brief vogue in Cecil B. DeMille comedies. After the changeover to sound, the Canadian-born actress mainly appeared in French language versions of Hollywood films. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

FBO, a minor poverty-row company run by Presidential father Joseph P. Kennedy, cranked out a seemingly endless stream of low-budget oaters starring the likes of Bob Custer, Tom Tyler and Bob Steele. One of the most appealing personalities on the studio roster was freckled Buzz Barton, a 12-year-old boy rider who starred in the "Red Hepner" series. In this, the series premiere, orphaned Red stumbles into the den of a gang of cattle rustlers. He teams up with a cantankerous old-timer (Frank Rice, whose character, Hank Robbins, became a regular in the Hepner series), and the two manage not only to bring the rustlers to justice, but also rescue a cavalry officer's pretty daughter (Lorraine Eason) from her Mexican abductors. Supplying romantic interest for Eason was one Sam Nelson, who also functioned as an assistant director at FBO. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Richard Talmadge plays John Drake, a safe expert who gets work managing a safe company in South America. On the way to his new job, he gets into a fight with Dynamite Diaz (Dick Sutherland), a prize fighter who thinks that Drake has flirted with his wife (Peggy Shaw). Drake has found love on board, but it's with Dolores D'Arcy (Lorraine Eason), the daughter of a banker (Charles Hill Mailes). Once he lands in South America, however, he discovers the job was a fake and is robbed of his money and passport. To get himself out of this mess, Drake enters a prize fight. Before he can get in the ring, however, the gang's leader, Issac Belding (Stanton Heck), kidnaps him and forces him to open the bank's safe. Drake saves the day by locking the gang inside and heading off to the fight. It turns out his opponent is Diaz, which is fine because Drake already knows his weak points. Not only does Drake manage to get in a few good punches, he also leaps from the ring and captures Jackson Pierce (Herbert Prior), the bank secretary who is in league with the gang. Drake is hailed as a hero, and Dolores gives him her heart. ~ Janiss Garza, Rovi
