Broadway Love

Broadway Love is a 1918 American silent romance film directed by Ida May Park and starring Dorothy Phillips, William Stowell, and Lon Chaney.

However, Midge's own life becomes more complicated when her hayseed boyfriend from the country, Elmer Watkins (Lon Chaney), comes into town to propose to her.

[6] The film's poster showcases Dorothy Phillips, evidence that, at this point in his career, Lon Chaney was not yet a major star.

[7] "W. Carey Wonderly, the author of the story, knows his Tenderloin and the life that passes inside and outside of its many stage doors...Dorothy Phillips makes Midge a reality, and that is both a personal and artistic triumph.

It doesn't do that, but as a feature picture it is better than the usual run of Bluebirds.... Lon Chaney carried the heavy along nicely, although there was too much comedy in his early make-up."
