{en} Dinty (USA, 1920), directed by Marshall Neilan and John McDermott, starring Wesley Barry, Colleen Moore, Marjorie Daw, Pat O'Malley, and Noah Beery.
Dinty is a newsboy whose fight to care for his ailing mother leads him into conflicts with the other boys on the street and then with drug smugglers in Chinatown. <BoyActors>
Conceived explicitly by director Marshall Neilan as a standalone starring vehicle for Wesley Barry, this San Francisco melodrama follows a resilient street newsboy who takes on grueling odd jobs to support his gravely ill mother (Colleen Moore). The narrative tracks the child through fierce turf wars with local street gangs and a high-stakes run-in with drug smugglers. Contemporary studio publicity heavily marketed the production around Barry's signature freckled visage, marking a definitive industrial milestone in the systematic construction of an entire feature film around a recognizable child personality. <EXTANT; online YES; music YES>
