Captain January

1924 • Edward F. Cline • 64 min

Our festival finally hands it's debut to Baby Peggy, one of the most famous child actresses of 1920s. She plays a stranded little girl, who was adopted by an elderly lighthouse keeper. When her relatives discover her identity, dark clouds begin to gather. The balance of touching drama and twists work beautifully, and Baby Peggy's essence melts the hearts of the most hardened viewers.

Relatively unknown master comedian Charley Chase makes the audience laugh in this short title, consisting of hurry and a muddy road. The director Leo McCarey is a master of the genre. A future Oscar winner Janet Gaynor can be seen as a side character.
