The Lamb is a 1915 American silent comedy/Western film featuring Douglas Fairbanks in his first starring role.

[1] Directed by W. Christy Cabanne, the film is based on the popular 1913 Broadway play The New Henrietta, in which Fairbanks co-starred with William H. Crane, Amelia Bingham and a very young Patricia Collinge.

[1] D. W. Griffith, writing under the pseudonym Granville Barker, along with director Christy Cabanne, essentially expanded the play beyond the plush nouveau riche apartment setting of the play, and provided a western element to the story.

[3] This would give Fairbanks a chance to show his physical prowess cinematically and loosen the play from what would be stage bound constraints.

The Lamb outperformed the other two features and was a hit with audiences and critics who praised Fairbanks' performance.
