Lois Wilson was a versatile leading lady of the silent and early sound eras, equally at home in sweeping Western epics and intimate domestic dramas. The Covered Wagon and The Vanishing American are the Western highlights, Bright Eyes contests an orphaned girl’s fate after her godfather’s death, No Greater Glory escalates a mock war between two boy gangs, and Deluge rebuilds society after a flood destroys New York. Manslaughter rounds out the list.
