There, in the Never Never Land, you will find him with the Fairies, the Indians, the Pirates and everything dear to the heart of a boy."; based on the classic play by J.M. Barrie; the first of many movie versions; about a boy who never grew up and who took runaway boys to a "Never Land") starring Betty Bronson (in the title role as Peter Pan; in her second credited movie role; thanks to Barrie's contract, the author had star approval, and after nine months he selected then-unknown Bronson!), Mary Brian (as Wendy), Jack Murphy, Philippe De Lacy, Virginia Brown Faire (as Tinker Bell), Ernest Torrence (as Captain James Hook), Edward Kipling (as Smee), and Anna May Wong (as Tiger Lilly). Note that because Peter Pan was a boy who never aged, he was always played by adult females of small stature, including in this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
