''Slippy McGee'' is a 1923 silent film, directed by Wesley Ruggles and based on the book ''Slippy McGee: Sometimes Known as the Butterfly Man'' by Marie Conway Oemler, published in 1917. The film was an Oliver Morosco Production released by Associated First National, and featured actress Colleen Moore as Mary Virginia. Production on the film began in June 1921〔“Morosco Company Will Start Shooting Scenes Here Today,” ''Natchez Democrat'', June 16th, 1921, page 3.〕 with Colleen's return from New York and Florida, where she was making ''The Lotus Eater'' with John Barrymore, directed by Marshall Neilan. Upon her return to Los Angeles, she left again after a few weeks for location work at Natchez, Mississippi, which filled in for the fictional town of Appleborro.〔“Slippy Magee is Story that Could Have Happened Here,” ''Natchez Democrat'', June 19th, 1921, page 4.〕 Colleen was taken with the town,〔“Colleen Moore Charmed with Natchez—Says Girls Pretty and Well Dressed,” ''Natchez Democrat'', June 18th, 1921, page 2.〕 and spoke well of the hospitality she and the ''Slippy McGee'' troupe were treated to.〔“Colleen Moore,” ''Hamilton Evening Journal'' (Ohio), August 27th, 1921, page 6.〕 It was not the first film production the town had hosted.〔''A Lifetime on Deadline,'' by George W. Healy, Jr., Pelican Publishing Co., 1976.〕 The film would not be released until two year later, in 1923. ==Cast== *Colleen Moore – Mary Virginia *Wheeler Oakman – Slippy McGee *Sam De Grasse – Father De Rance *Edmund Stevens – George Inglesby *Edith Yorke – Madame De Rance *Lloyd Whitlock – Howard Hunter *Pat O'Malley – Lawrence Mayne 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Slippy McGee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
