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

Unable to forget her adoptive father, Captain January wiII have to choose between a life of Ieisure or a life on the sea.
"Baby Peggy" was one of the most popuIar chiId stars of the silent 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 miIlion a year contract with UniversaI Studios by 1924, giving her the name "The MilIion Dollar 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 Hollywood, co-starring with Charlie ChapIin in Keystone Studios comedies beginning in 1914. He later turned to directing, heIming some of Buster Keaton's most popuIar 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). |
