Brown of Harvard, 1926 – John Wayne’s film debut

Published by PublicDomainMovies on April 22, 2025

Brown of Harvard is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by Jack Conway, and starring William Haines, Jack Pickford and Mary Brian. Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the film is based on the successful 1906 Broadway play Brown of Harvard by Rida Johnson Young, who also co-wrote the popular music for the play along with Melvin Ellis.

The film is best known of the three Brown of Harvard films. It was John Wayne’s film debut. Uncredited, Wayne played a Yale football player. Grady Sutton and Robert Livingston, both of whom went on to long and successful careers, also appear uncredited. The 1918 film included future Boston Redskins coach William “Lone Star” Dietz and the only Washington State University football team to win a Rose Bowl.
