Big Boy was discovered by an American sergeant in the Trenches in the Great War
Director
Big Boy, the charming little scoundrel wearing adult rags and boots was already performed by child actor Malcolm Sebastian at the age of two. As a child Big Boy’s fame went global, but could not likely maintain at adolescence.
Writer
This is a real corker. It starts off with a terrific routine with an erratic elevator. Lane's character, Johnny Jones, upon sight falls in love with Mary Craig (played by Kathryn McGuire who appears in a number of Lane comedies). The man who hopes to marry her is Henry Sharp played by Wallace Lupino; the title card introducing this character says" Henry Sharp – so mean he would steal a dead fly from a blind spider." Johnny agrees to do his father a favor by posing as his little boy of about 10 years old. The father had told the wealthy widow he hopes to marry that he was only 30 years old. Because of Lane's small stature this is more believable than most comedy routines that have an adult playing a child.
