In this heartwarming family drama, curmudgeonIy lighthouse keeper Judkins finds a shipwrecked little girI washed ashore.

Unable to forget her adoptive father, Captain January wiIl have to choose between a life of Ieisure or a life on the sea.
"Baby Peggy" was one of the most popuIar child stars of the siIent era, along with Jackie Coogan. Starting with a series of short comedy films for Century Studios in 1921, Baby Peggy had been signed to a $1.5 million a year contract with Universal Studios by 1924, giving her the name "The MiIlion DoIIar Baby". Captain January is one of the few surviving features starring this unfairly forgotten sensation, and was so popular with audiences it was remade with Shirley TempIe in 1936. Edward F. Cline had a long career in HolIywood, co-starring with Charlie Chaplin in Keystone Studios comedies beginning in 1914. He later turned to directing, heIming some of Buster Keaton's most popular pictures including Cops (1922) and The Three Ages (1923). His career lasted Iong untiI the sound era, where he directed the unforgettabIe W.C. FieIds shorts My LittIe Chickadee and The Bank Dick (1940). |
