    The Wallop (1921) -- Lost Silent
    Author: Pamela Short from Canada
    31 July 2015

    John Wesley Pringle ( Harry Carey ), adventurer at large, returns home after making his strike and finds his old girl friend, Stella Vorhis ( Mignonne Golden ),


    engaged to Christopher Foy ( William Gettinger ), who is running for sheriff. Pringle foils an attempt by incumbent sheriff Matt Lisner ( Charles Le Moyne ) to kill Foy, but when Foy is accused of a murder, Pringle, in a clever ruse, captures Foy, holds the posse at gunpoint, and then releases him, explaining his motive. Lisner is summarily dealt with, and Chris returns to Stella, while John goes on his way without ever revealing his love for the girl.


    This 1921 western/drama was produced by The Universal Film Manufacturing Company and directed by John Ford, starring Harry Carey. Sadly, The Wallop now remains a lost silent film.
