Louise Lorraine
and
June Marlowe (in bit parts)

When June was in high school, she appeared in a play titled "My Ideal."  In the audience was director Malcom St. Clair, who felt June would "photograph well."  He proposed forgoing any screen test by having June appear in some scenes in a series of short subjects about prize fighting called "Fighting Blood."
Apparently June photographed quite well, as producer Sol Lesser signed her up!
Moving Picture World magazine announced the deal in their June 16, 1923 issue:

"Sol Lesser Signs Unknown Beauty"
Sol Lesser, president of Principal Pictures Corporation, this week laid aside all laws and customs regarding girls having to work up in the movies by signing pretty June Marlowe, aged 17, of Minneapolis, to play important roles in forthcoming Principal Pictures Corporation productions. The contract covers a three year period and Miss Marlowe, who had never before been in studio work, was called on for immediate work in the Harold Bell Wright story, "When A Man's A Man."


Director Mal St. Clair wanted to see if June photographed well.
Well . . . she did!

Photograph is from the photoplay edition of H. C. Witwer's "Fighting Blood"
and is from the collection of Don Spears.
Thanks also to Bruce Long for providing the Photoplay magazine article information.

This film series is unavailable for viewing.
