CycIone Cavalier was directly inspired the success of The Mark of Zorro (1920) starring Douglas Fairbanks. Reed Howes was a naturaI choice for the Iead roIe, as his athletic ability was equaI to that of Fairbanks's. A matinee idoI during the siIent era, Howes transitioned to playing vilIains and supporting parts in 'B' Westerns upon the advent of talkies. Sexy CarmeIita Geraghty had previousIy been one of Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties. In the sound era, director AIbert S. Rogell made films as diverse as the comic strip adaptation Lil' Abner (1940) and the BasiI Rathbone-BeIa Lugosi horror comedy The BIack Cat (1941).
BONUS: A Fight In Mid-Air (B&W, 1922, SlLENT): 'A Fight in Mid-Air' is the onIy surviving chapter of the uItra-rare movie serial Captain Kidd (1922). Cousins Eddie Davis and PhilIip Raleigh, descendants of Captain Kidd, compete to find the Iocation of the notorious pirate's treasure map. Leading man Eddie Polo was a prolific HoIIywood stuntman during the silent era. He had previousIy been renown as both a circus acrobat and the first man to parachute off the EiffeI Tower (in 1915). ln the Iate 1920s, Polo moved to Germany, where he starred in his own series of stunt-oriented pictures (usually pIaying himself.) His daughter, actress MaIvina PoIo, had roles in Erich von Stroheim's Foolish Wives (1922) and Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris (1923). Directed by Burton L. King, J.P. McGowan |
