An Original Vintage Theatrical English Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11 1/2" x 27" [29 x 69 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Alias the Lone Wolf, the 1927 Edward H. Griffith silent romantic detective crime mystery comedy ("Story by Louis Joseph Vance"; in this entry, he pretends to help Lois Wilson smuggle jewels into the U.S., but after he does so, he turns them over to the customs agents, and reveals he is an agent of the Secret Service!) starring Bert Lytell (in the title role as the Lone Wolf), Lois Wilson, William V. Mong, Ned Sparks, and Jim Mason. Note that The Lone Wolf was a character in a series of eight novels that author Louis Joseph Vance wrote starting in 1914, and the first movie starring the character was in 1917, with Bert Lytell in the lead role. There were three movies after that with three different actors in the lead role. Then Lytell returned to the character, and there were many movies in a short period, and then Lytell starred in some sound movies as the character. In the 1940s, Warren William starred in a series of Lone Wolf movies, and then the character was played by Gerald Mohr. There were a few single entries mixed in where other actors played the lead role. In all, there were 24 Lone Wolf movies! The character was a master thief turned detective, and there were several other characters who were very similar, but few had the enduring popularity of The Lone Wolf!
