Magnificent Brute (1921) - Lost Silent Film ?
PamelaShort6 March 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Victor Raoul ( Frank Mayo ) a french Canadian trapper, returns to the trading post at St. Ignace to find a rival for the affections of Yvonne ( Dorothy Devore ), his business partner's daughter, in the Marquis Courtière, Parisian representative of the fur company. Raoul has heated argument with Fontaine ( Percy Challenger ) over the visitor's business dealings and his attentions to Yvonne. When Fontaine is later attacked and robbed, Victor is framed by the agent and is nearly hanged, but is saved just in time by a statement from Yvonne and the arrival of the Mounted Police.

This adventure/melodrama was produced by the Universal Film Manufacturing Company and is now listed as unknown on the long list of lost silent films. As the case with many missing films, it is very hard to track down a complete synopsis and I wish I was able to offer more about this film for the reader, even better, hopefully a copy survives and resurfaces for silent cinema fans, like myself, to enjoy viewing.
