When Duke appeared in "The Big Trail," he had only been billed once, as Duke Morrison, in 18 films. In "Trail" he got star billing with a new name, John Wayne. "Girls Demand Excitement" (1931) is his first movie after the failure of the film that was supposed to have made him a star.
Virginia Cherrill (1908-1996), who had played the blind girl in Charlie Chaplln's (1889-1977) great film, "City Lights" (1931), was given billing over Duke.
It was her first talkie. Her only other claim to fame is that she was Cary Grant's (1904-1986) first wife; one of her five husbands. Coincidentally Grant was also married five times, finally succeeding in his last to another non actress.
Duke has been quoted as saying that "Girl's Demand Excitement" was his worst motion picture. Cherrill, a society girl with no acting experience, had been picked by Chaplin when he saw her at a boxing match.

While at the U of A, I studied with the master black and white photo essayist W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) the last year of his life. I am the last person cited in Jim Hughes' definitive biography of Gene, as I wrote about attending his final...
