Bessie Love Movies

Love was born Juanita Horton. While still a Los Angeles high school student she began appearing in films in 1915. She was given her screen name by filmmaker D.W. Griffith. In 1916 she began appearing in lead roles opposite several major stars, and made a big impression as the Bride of Cana in Intolerance. Her subsequent career was a roller-coaster; each time she appeared to have broken through as a major star in a big film, she was cast in several forgettable ventures and had to start her way back up. Also, producers weren't sure how to cast her: at first she was an ingenue heroine; in the early '20s she played somber leads in melodramas; in the late '20s she was in light films. A footnote: in 1925 she introduced the Charleston to films in King on Main Street. She had several "comebacks," the most noteworthy of which was in the talkie musical The Broadway Melody. Successfully making the transition to sound, she proved herself to be a very talented song-and-dance star and received a Best Actress Oscar nomination. Once again very popular, she nevertheles appeared in few additional films, primarily because the films in which she was cast were of low quality. In 1931 she appeared at the New York Palace. In 1935 she moved to London, where she remained the rest of her life; after that her film work was sporadic, though it continued until the early '80s. During World War Two she served with the American Red Cross in England and worked as a film technician at Ealing Studios. Later in her life she did much stage work, starring in numerous plays; she also wrote the play The Homecoming (1958), designed to star herself. ~ All Movie Guide

Those who believe that It Happened One Night was the first film to tap the comic potential of "auto courts" (later known as motels) are referred to the 1927 film Rubber Tires. It all begins when the Stack family sells all its worldly possessions, invests in a car, and heads to California. Every possible disaster befalls them, from flat tires to busted radiators, but the family is always rescued by Bill James (Harrison Ford), the erstwhile sweetheart of Mary Ellen Stack (Bessie Love). Upon arriving in the Golden State, Pa Stack (Erwin Connelly) finds that a promised job has fallen through, but fortunately the manufacturer of their car gives the family a huge cash reward for proving the durability of the auto. Rubber Tires was filmed on locations ranging from Monterey Bay to the coast of Carmel; according to co-star Frank "Junior" Coghlan, one scene was filmed in the tiny chili stand owned by future "restaurateur-to-the-stars" Dave Chasen. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The frequently filmed Alice Hegan Rice novel Lovey Mary was given the slick MGM treatment in 1926. Bessie Love plays the title character, a 17-year-old orphanage runaway. Taken in by poor-but-kindly Mrs. Wiggs (Mary Alden), Lovey Mary spreads good cheer wherever she goes, even "curing" the town's leading sourpuss. She finally gets a share of happiness herself when Mrs. Wiggs' oldest son Billy (William Haines) pops the question. Lovey Mary was originally the sequel to Mrs. Rice's Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch itself filmed more than once over the years. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Song and Dance Man was based on the play of the same name by George M. Cohan. Tom Moore plays vaudevillian Happy Farrell, who gives up show biz to take a "civilian" job. Finding success in the business world, Happy tries to go back on stage, only to find that it isn't quite so easy the second time around. Meanwhile, our hero's former vaude partner Leola Lane (Bessie Love), now a headliner at the Palace, gives it all up to become the bride of artist Joseph Murdock (played by the "original" Harrison Ford). Though he's always been in love with Leola, Happy gives her marriage his blessing, knowing that she's now way out of his league. Song and Dance Man was remade as a talkie in 1936, with Paul Kelly and Claire Trevor. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

With its mythical kingdom theme, this romance was not terribly original. But it does feature a couple of interesting aspects; it was produced by (although not directed by) Cecil B. DeMille, and it features both Joseph Schildkraut and his father, the esteemed Rudolph Schildkraut as the prince and king, respectively. Crown Prince Caryl (Joseph Schildkraut) has to marry the arch duchess in order to ascend to the throne currently occupied by his father, King Stefan (Rudolph Schildkraut). Caryl, who is not looking forward to this, decides to have one last fling in Paris. Meanwhile, the arch duchess,Victoria Cecelie (Bessie Love), has just left finishing school and decides to see Paris disguised as a plain American girl. It's easy to guess that the two immediately meet and fall deeply in love. Eventually Caryl admits his identity and goes home to tell his father that he will only marry the girl he loves. Victoria writes him a note confessing her real identity, but it is intercepted by Caryl's uncle,Prince Michael (Bryant Washburn), who wants to take Caryl's place on the throne. Caryl abdicates, and as he is leaving, he finds Victoria in all her regalia preparing to wed Michael. Caryl kidnaps her and they take off in a plane, where they are married in mid-air. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Going Crooked was based on the stage play by Winchell Smith, William Collier Sr. and Aaron Hoffman. An armored car driver has been killed in a robbery, and an innocent man (Leslie Fenton) has been charged with the murder. DA John Banning (Oscar Shaw) suspects a frame-up, but the only person he is able to haul into jail is Marie (Bessie Love), a minor member of the robbery gang. Realizing that Marie was forced into a life of crime, Banning promises to go easy on her if she'll help him trap the real murderer, gang leader Mordaunt (Gustav von Seyfertitz). Marie nearly loses her own life in the process, but the film comes to its anticipated conclusion as the innocent boy is saved from the Chair just as the switch is being pulled. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This warm comedy, based on the play by Frank Craven, was typical of William C. deMille's directing work. Thomas Bates Sr. (Robert McWade) takes his broom manufacturing business very seriously, and his idle son, Tom Jr. (Neil Hamilton), calls him a grouch. As a result, Bates decides to teach his son a lesson by putting him in charge of the business for a year. While the elder Bates is getting a chance to live it up for once in his life, Tom is having all sorts of difficulties, from learning how to pay all the bills he used to run up to dealing with employees who abuse their privileges -- and their new boss. On top of that, Tom falls in love with Geraldine Marsh (Bessie Love), who has come to the Bates home to work as a housekeeper. He even drops his fickle fiancée, Florence Levering (Phyllis Haver), for her. But then he finds Geraldine kissing his father and orders her out of the house. His father insists on going with her. At the end of the year, both of them return. It turns out that Geraldine and Bates were not involved after all, so Tom rushes her to the altar. Bates takes over his business once again. Although his son has all but ruined the company, the experience has also made a man of him. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Based on a story by Harold Bell Wright, this average silent western starred Warner Baxter as the son who almost loses his ranch to cover his late father's debts. Star-billed Bessie Love had little to do other than looking pretty as Baxter's Irish romantic interest. A former leading man with the Oliver Morosco stock company, the handsome, dark-haired Baxter was treading water in programmers before earning a 1929 Academy Award for playing the Cisco Kid in In Old Arizona. Today, however, Baxter is mainly remembered for playing the Crime Doctor in a series of popular whodunits produced by Columbia in the 1940s. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Eric Fane (Richard Barthelmess) studies music in Paris, but his parents (Lee Baker and Effie Shannon) call him home and ask him to give it up to go into business. He refuses and returns to France. He gets involved with Rhea, a Russian princess (Carlotta Montery), is swept up by the Parisian nightlife, and writes popular music. He knows he isn't achieving what he set out to do and prefers to live in poverty as he searches for his artistic voice. Rhea refuses to share this life, and eventually, Eric winds up in Port Said, playing in a tawdry dancehall. He gets into an altercation with a sailor and shoots him. With the help of the woman who is in charge of the hall, Eric escapes and winds up on an island in the South Seas. There he meets Teita, an English girl whose parents are dead (Bessie Love). A romance blossoms and they make plans to marry. On the eve of the ceremony, Eric finds a mark on Teita's shoulder and believes she may have contracted leprosy. In a panic, he sends for the doctor and plays the piano while waiting for him to arrive. He writes a beautiful piece, and when the doctor shows up, he diagnoses only a minor illness. The music Eric has written proves his genius. This drama was based on an unsuccessful stage play, Great Music, by Martin Brown. It fared better onscreen because it was easier to re-create the diverse locations on film. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Although there was nothing really fresh about the story to this romantic comedy (based on the play The King, by Leo Ditrichstein), director Monta Bell and star Adolphe Menjou gave it a pleasantly sophisticated veneer. Serge IV (Menjou), King of Molvania, has come to the United States to secure a loan for his country. But first he finds love with American girl Gladys Humphreys (Bessie Love). The pair have a delightful romance, with the king allowing himself to behave like a real, down-to-earth fellow for once in his life. He even gets to visit Coney Island. Millionaire Arthur Trent (Joseph Kilgour) wants Serge to sign a lease for some Molvania oil fields. When he finds him on a balcony with Gladys, he locks the both of them out for the night. In order to save Gladys' reputation, the king signs the lease the next morning. In the interests of protocol and his country, Serge returns to Molvania and marries the proper princess, while Gladys finds herself an American husband. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

This adventure virtually butchers its source, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic novel. But with stop-motion photography and special effects that were incredibly innovative in 1924 and 1925, who cared? These effects were the whole film, and Wallace Beery's inspired performance was a bonus. The tale opens on reporter Edward Malone (Lloyd Hughes), who wants to marry Gladys Hungerford (Alma Bennett). Gladys, however, only wants to marry a man of great deeds. So Malone, having asked his editor for an adventuresome assignment, is given the task of interviewing Professor Challenger (Beery), who is planning an expedition to a "lost world." Malone accompanies Challenger and his men to South America where, on a great plateau, they find a prehistoric world occupied by dinosaurs and ape-like men. They barely escape with their lives, but they manage to bring a brontosaurus back to London. The beast breaks out and terrorizes the city before crashing through the London bridge and swimming out toward the ocean to freedom. In the midst of all this, Malone has fallen in love with Paula White, the daughter of an explorer (Bessie Love). Since Gladys, it turns out, has married a clerk, Malone is able to wed his new sweetheart. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

This tale of international thievery was rather an odd film for director Maurice Tourneur, and it wasn't up to his usual standard. In fact, the climax--a Japanese earthquake--is obviously a combination of newsreel footage and movie sets. When it is discovered that he has the crown jewels, Count Boris (Jean Hersholt) is forced into exile. The count plans to sell the jewels to help the poor, but Jules Carstock (Morgan Wallace), the head of an international ring of crooks, wants to sell them to millionaire Charles G. Hammond (Joseph Kilgour). Carstock gets two other crooks, Hansen (Owen Moore) and Fogarty (George Cooper), to help him, and they all head to Japan where the count has sent the jewels. But Hansen falls in love with Marie(Bessie Love), a maid (Bessie Love), and decides to go straight. However, after an argument with Marie, he changes his mind, and goes for the jewels himself. An earthquake hits the city just after his holdup and entombs everybody in the bank. All except the count manage to come out alive. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

John Brent (Hobart Bosworth) returns from the East to tell his fellow cattlemen that they will have to leave the range and make way for the homesteaders by heading for Mexico. On the train, Brent's son Hugh (Roy Stewart) has met Ellen Crawley (Bessie Love), one of a family of homesteaders. When the cattlemen start their big drive towards Mexico, the herd stampedes and destroys the Crawleys' home. Although the resentful cattlemen have no sympathy for the Crawleys, Hugh insists that they bring them along in the grub wagon. Ellen's giving personality eventually wins over even the most callous of the cattlemen, and at the Mexican border they all take a collection so that she and her family can start over. Hugh promises to marry her once he is settled. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

An attorney (Thomas Meighan) becomes the intermediary between an Indian tribe and the territory's settlers in this fine silent western based on a novel by Peter Clark MacFarlane. Meighan, however, gets in hot water when, upon his advice, the Indians sell their land to an outright crook (Berton Churchill). One of the great stars of the silent era, Thomas Meighan died relatively young in 1936 and has been unfairly forgotten. Following on the heels of The Alaskan, this was Meighan's second action adventure in a row, but the classically trained actor was more popular in society dramas such as DeMille's Male and Female (1919) and Why Change Your Wife?) (1920). Directed by Joseph Henaberry, who had played Abraham Lincoln in The Birth of a Nation, Tongues of Flame became the screen debut of corpulent Berton Churchill, a fine character actor best known for portraying blustery men of means. ~ Hans J.

After his impressive directorial effort on The Sea Hawk, Frank Lloyd made this far smaller and more intimate film. The idealistic Joe Roberts (Glenn Hunter) adores his wife Mary (Bessie Love) and looks up to his boss, John Steele (Hobart Bosworth), who is a candidate for U.S. senator. Steele doesn't have Roberts' happy marriage; his wife (Gertrude Astor) is gone much of the time, and he has taken up with dancer Lily Elliott (Alma Bennett). As a favor to his boss, Roberts rents an apartment for Lily in his own name and also buys Steele a gun. Lily is killed in an accident after breaking up with Steele. Roberts is arrested but keeps quiet when he is assured that Mary will be told the truth. Steele's nervous campaign manager, Barnes (Lionel Belmore), never contacts Mary and she leaves home because she thinks that her husband has been unfaithful. Roberts is finally freed, and unaware that Mary has left, returns home. When he finds her gone, he collapses. Steele wins the election, and when he finds out that Mary was never told the truth he goes to her himself. After convincing her that Roberts is innocent, he brings the couple together for a reconciliation. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Although the plot to this heavy-handed drama sounds like typical Hollywood hokum, it actually came from a very successful stage play by Bernard K. Burns. The conniving George Wayne (Lew Cody) entices Betty Brown (Sylvia Breamer) to accompany him to his cabin with promises of marriage. Only after keeping her there for a few weeks does he reveal he never intended to wed her. Betty starts life all over again (her reputation being ruined by Wayne's actions and the mores of the era), not knowing that Wayne, under the name of Montgomery, is doing the same thing to another girl, Grace Pierce (Bessie Love). Eventually, Betty marries a very moral, upstanding man, Fred Masters (Frank Mayo), but, on the advice of his sister (Myrtle Steadman), does not reveal her past. Both Betty and Masters are called to serve on the jury that is hearing the case against Grace Pierce, who is accused of Montgomery's murder. Betty soon figures out that Montgomery was Wayne, and when everyone wants to convict the girl, she is forced into a dilemma -- should she keep quiet, or should she reveal her sordid past to save the girl, but possibly ruin her own marriage? Betty opts to speak out and Grace is acquitted. The understanding Masters forgives Betty her past. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Rourke dies. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

This melodrama was personally supervised by producer Thomas Ince, and, depending on how one looked at it, it was either anti-alcohol, or against the Volstead Act, which caused the bootlegging of bad liquor. Mary Kane (Lucille Ricksen) is killed during a wreck when the boy driving the car in which she is riding is blinded by bathtub gin. Her brother, Robert (Warner Baxter), swears to fight the bootleggers and becomes a prohibition officer. Meanwhile, Ruth Jordan (Blanche Sweet) comes to town, searching for her brother, Matt (Robert Agnew). Matt is working for rumrunner Red Carney (Matthew Betz). Revenue officer Blaney (Frank Campeau) is in league with Carney, and when another agent is killed, the two crooks frame Matt and see that he is convicted, though Ruth is determined to prove her brother innocent. She meets Kane and convinces him to pretend to be her sweetheart and together they gather enough evidence to save Matt. Carney discovers the ruse, but before he can kill Kane, a group of revenue officers arrive. Matt is freed, and Ruth and Kane discover they really do love each other. This picture was remade as a talkie in 1930. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Writer/director Marshall Neilan once more makes lemonade from a lemon in The Eternal Three. Hobart Bosworth plays Frank R. Walters, an elderly doctor who takes for himself a young bride, portrayed by Claire Windsor. Feeling neglected, the new wife starts up an affair with Walter's adopted son Bob (George Cooper), who has a terrible reputation with the ladies. In ways both large and small, both lovers pay for their sins, and the doctor is made to realize how his neglect of his wife caused the whole imbroglio. Raymond Griffith deftly steals the film with his perfectly timed and paced comedy relief. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Dorothy Davenport billed herself by her private name, Mrs. Wallace Reid, for this melodrama about drug addiction. She was making a powerful point by doing so because her husband, film star Wallace Reid, had died at the beginning of 1923 as a result of his morphine habit. An exploitative bit of propaganda, Human Wreckage was nevertheless well made -- Davenport was supported by a solid cast that included James Kirkwood, Bessie Love, and Robert McKim, and the screenplay was written by C. Gardner Sullivan. Jimmy Browne, a junkie (George Hackathorne), is arrested after robbing a pawnshop, and his friend Mary Finnegan (Love) approaches Ethel MacFarland (Davenport) about the dilemma. Ethel's husband Alan (Kirkwood) is a lawyer of note, and he gets Browne released to a sanitarium to be cured. MacFarland is overworked, and his doctor (McKim) prescribes narcotics. Soon he is hooked, adverselt affecting his life and his work -- he even makes sure that Steve Stone (Harry Northrup), the head of the drug ring, gets acquitted of charges. Eventually he begs his wife to take him away so that he can kick his habit., but he is only able to quit for good when he believes that Ethel herself is succumbing to the lure of drugs. Now cured, he heads a campaign to wipe out drugs. Stone tries to escape, but Browne, who is driving him away, runs the car into a train, killing them both. This picture was made in the wake of several notorious Hollywood scandals -- Reid's drug addiction being only one -- and was a weak attempt to convince Middle America that the film capital was willing to clean up its act. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Burned by a recent series of scandals that included the Fatty Arbuckle manslaughter case and the February 1, 1922, murder of director William Desmond Taylor, Hollywood took great pains in attempting to convince Middle America that the film community was anything but "out of control." One of the industry's few women producers, A. E. Maescher, released Night Life in Hollywood, about a couple of hayseeds (J. Frank Glendon and Gale Henry) arriving in the film mecca in the hope of experiencing "a modern Babylon." But according to Maescher and her director, Fred Caldwell, Hollywood was a rather dowdy and sleepy little community where Joe and his sister found nothing but pleasant romance while visiting the homes of the stars, including the abode of humorist Will Rogers.To drive her point home, Maescher convinced a long line of popular performers to appear as their dull and far from scandalous selves, including serial star William Desmond, Bryant Washburn and family, Bessie Love, the closeted J. Warren Kerrigan and his adoring mother, little Johnny Jones (aka Edward Peil, Jr.), and last but certainly not least, handsome Wallace Reid and his wife Dorothy Davenport. Ironically, Reid, a major box-office attraction, lost his long fought battle with drug abuse less than a year after appearing in this moralistic film. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

Starring New Zealander Shayle Gardner in the title role, this British screen version of Augusta J. Evans-Wilson's sentimental novel and stock company perennial was often mentioned when citing the poor state of British filmmaking in the 1920s. Gardner played the title role, a man who killed his romantic rival in a brawl. Travelling the world as a confirmed misogynist, St. Elmo returns to home and hearth only to fall in love with the daughter (Gabrielle Gilroy) of the local blacksmith. An equally poor Hollywood version of the story was filmed that same year starring John Gilbert, Barbara La Marr, and Bessie Love. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

This comedy-melodrama, based on the novel by Rupert Hughes (who also directed), blends fiction and reality to tell the story of a young woman's rise in Hollywood; the film uses real stars and productions (even Charles Chaplin filming A Woman of Paris) as its backdrop. Eleanor Boardman plays Remember Steddon, better known as Mem. Mem is a small-town girl who marries slick bad guy Owen Scudder (Lew Cody); Owen insures his brides and then murders them for the money. After the wedding, Mem starts to have her doubts about him and runs away while their train is chugging through the desert. She happens on a film crew and gets work as an extra, later becoming a famous dramatic actress in Hollywood with the help of director Frank Claymore (Richard Dix). Scudder finally tracks her down during a shoot involving a circus tent; when a storm sets the tent on fire, Scudder loses his life saving Mem from a wind machine's propeller. Freed from her marriage, Mem is able to choose between Claymore and her leading man. Boardman, whose first starring role finds her surrounded by a long and impressive supporting cast, wound up at the Goldwyn studios through a "New Faces" contest. Her co-winner, future star William Haines, also had a bit part as the company's assistant director. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide

Sinclair Lewis wrote the story to this heartwarming drama. Don Dorgan (George Nichols) has been patrolling his beat in a rough section of town for the past 30 years and has managed to keep the peace through friendship and understanding. One young neighborhood tough, Terry Rafferty (Ralph Graves), has fallen in love with Effie Kugler (Bessie Love), the daughter of a deli owner, Rudolph (George B. Williams). But Rudolph Kugler does not approve of the young man in spite of his efforts to straighten up. In his depression over the father's snubbing, Rafferty gets into a drunken brawl with the district's political boss and is sent to prison for two years. Meanwhile, Manning, a new police commissioner (Melbourne MacDowell), is hired, and he decides it's time to retire Dorgan. Since the new cop favors using his club instead of compassion, Dorgan decides to put on his uniform once again and patrol his beat -- at least when the new cop isn't looking. Rafferty gets out of prison but is almost immediately assaulted by a gang leader. Dorgan takes him under his wing and sends for Effie. The couple are reunited in spite of her father's protests. Manning finds out about Dorgan's "ghost patrol," but instead of upbraiding him, he promotes him to captain. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide
