HISTORY

The 3 Dec 1921 Motion Picture News reported that filming had begun the previous week on a screen version of Joseph Crosby Lincoln’s 1912 novel, The Rise of Roscoe Paine. The independent project, produced by lead actress Irene Castle’s company, Holtre Productions, and directed by Edwin L. Hollywood, would be released by the W. W. Hodkinson Corporation.
       According to the 3 Dec 1921 Exhibitors Trade Review, work began at Estee Studios in New York City, but the crew immediately departed for exterior filming near Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, NY, and would continue on location for another two weeks. Afterward, the production planned to return to Estee for interiors. A total of six weeks was expected until completion.
       The 10 Dec 1921 Motion Picture News announced that NY locations would be completed that week, and the crew would next relocate to Cape Cod, MA, where scenes along the coastline and at a cranberry bog would be filmed. On 24 Dec 1921, Exhibitors Trade Review stated that author Joseph Crosby Lincoln was on set at Elstee the previous week, overseeing production.
       The picture, still being referred to as The Rise of Roscoe Paine, was currently being cut and titled, as reported by the 1 Apr 1922 Moving Picture World. Director Edwin L. Hollywood, who had worked on several Irene Castle pictures to date, announced his resignation from collaborating with the actress, following the completion of the film.

SYNOPSIS

Roscoe Paine owns the lane that runs through the Cape Cod fishing village in which he lives, but he allows anyone to use it out of gratitude for the many kindnesses shown to him and his invalid mother. James Colton and his wife arrive in Cape Cod, with their daughter, Mabel. Mrs. Colton is ill and is under doctor's orders to "take rest." James offers to buy Roscoe's serene property, but Roscoe declines, until he desperately needs the money. While the men conduct the closing deal on a launch, Victor Carver, who is in the village to get information for Colton's Wall Street rival, inadvertantly causes their boat to explode. Mabel Colton rows to their rescue; Colton is severely burned and incapacitated. While the financier recovers, Roscoe advises Mabel what financial decisions to make to save her father's stock market investments. Carver confesses his villainy, and Mrs. Colton is suddenly cured. After James heals, he bestows his new property on the town and offers Roscoe a fine position. Romance blooms between Roscoe and ...
