THE VANISHING AMERICAN (1925) 165 In 1925 Warner Brothers brought Oscar Wilde's Lady Windemere's Fan to the screen, featuring Irene Rich, May McAvoy, Bert Lytell, and Ronald Colman (the last three are shown here). Colman, after serving with the original BEF from 1914 until the end of the war, came to America in 1920. He made his screen debut in The White Sister, starring Lillian Gish, in 1923. A polished actor, he was already a featured player, but was only at die beginning of one of the longest and most consistently successful careers in the history of motion pictures. BELOW Richard Dix gave up romantic leads long enough to demonstrate his gifts as a character actor by playing the Indian in The Vanishing American. The picture version of Zane Grey's novel was made on the Navajo reservation in Arizona. Teamed with Dix were Lois Wilson and Noah Beery. -^ .^~ .
