High Speed
Based on a 1918 magazine serial by Fred Jackson, this typical silent-action melodrama from Universal starred Herbert Rawlinson as Hi Moreland, a handsome athlete battling with a wealthy but insipid rival for the attention of pretty Marjorie Holbrook (Carmelita Geraghty), the daughter of a bank president. The loathsome rival, Dick Farrell (Bert Roach), attempts to frame Moreland, but he manages to wiggle out of the situation and win the girl. The suave Herbert Rawlinson, from England, was one of many actors attempting to rival the era's great swashbuckler, the inimitable Douglas Fairbanks.
