Warner (in the title role; "As Sorrell... A failure in life but a success as a father"), Anna Q. Nilsson ("As Dora Sorrell"), Alice Joyce ("As Fanny Garland"), Nils Asther ("As Kit Sorrell"), Carmel Myers ("As Florence Palfrey"), Norman Trevor ("As Thomas Roland"), Louis Wolheim ("As Sergeant Buck"), Mickey McBan (in the title role; "As the boy"), and Mary Nolan ("As Molly Roland"). Note that the "mercy killing" aspect of this movie was very controversial when the movie first came out, and over 80 years later, the exact same movie plot would be just as controversial! Also note that seven years after this movie was made, it was re-made as a "talkie", with H.B. Warner again playing the lead role. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
