It was the first version of the story entirely entrusted to a youth cast. Also one of the first Hollywood movies ever to offer a prominent part to an African-American actor.
William Desmond Taylor's acclaimed and faithful silent adaptation of Mark Twain's classic Americana novel. Sixteen-year-old child actor Lewis Sargent delivers a highly charismatic, definitive performance as the rebellious, freckle-faced Huck Finn, masterfully capturing his raft journey down the Mississippi River with the runaway slave Jim. <Lewis Sargent was already sixteen/seventeen><available only partially online>
