I. “In production on the MGM lot during the summer of 1926, Wayne and several other USC friends worked as costumed extras, wearing kilts, in the film.” Page 202
II. “Duke also worked that semester [second] as an extra in MGM’s Annie Laurie.”
III. I remember working in a Norman Kerry picture at MGM recalled the Duke in a letter on the subject, ‘in which I was dressed in a Scotsman outfit but for the life of me, I could not tell you the name of the picture.’ (the film was Annie Laurie) Vol VI, No 3, October 19899
IV. Print held in Library of Congress.21
V. When viewed by the authors the opening credits on this film list (amongst others) “Lillian Gish, Norman Kerry. Directed by John S. Robertson.”
VI. This film has been viewed by the authors, however the quality is so poor that we were unable to say if John Wayne can be seen in this film or not. We were able to establish that John Wayne’s name does not appear in the opening or closing credits of this film.
