Captain January (1924 film)

Captain January is a 1924 American silent drama film directed by Edward F. Cline and featuring child star Baby Peggy.

[4] Captain January (Baby Peggy) is a young girl who lives in a lighthouse in Maine with her guardian, Jeremiah "Daddy" Judkins (Hobart Bosworth).

January is saved from the orphanage by a chance meeting with Isabelle Morton (Irene Rich), an affluent young woman who comes to visit the lighthouse.

The film was released to mostly positive reception, with a reviewer from Motion Picture Classic stating "Under appreciative direction, [she behaves] like any normal active six-year old kid... She is natural -- not a bit precocious -- and acts with a sincerity that should be adopted by many of her adult contemporaries.

"[1] Captain January is one of only six of Baby Peggy's full-length feature films to survive to the current era.
