Peppy Polly

Peppy Polly is a lost[1] 1919 American silent drama film directed by Elmer Clifton and starring Dorothy Gish.

[2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] Polly Shannon (Gish) impresses Judge Monroe (Peil) with her "pep" and is recommended for employment to Mrs. Kingsley Benedict (Toncray), member of a committee investigating the Melville reform school for girls.

At the asylum she meets a young doctor whom she learns to love and the two manage to bring the truth to light.

In New Zealand, Peppy Polly was screened as early as January, 1920, in Wellington, where it played concurrently in two different theaters.

[6] It premiered in Whangārei at the Britannia Theatre in July, succeeding the Owen Moore-starring Rolling Stones.
