Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Seldom has a gigantic motion picture been conceived under more auspicious circumstances than those that marked the inception of "The Patent Leather Kid." At its very first reading this Rupert Hughes story was hailed as a masterpiece for visualization. Simultaneously the name of Richard Barthelmess came to those responsible for the production as the ideal actor for the part of Curly Boyle; and this was responsible for about the only change made in the transferal of the story from print to screen. Owing to the prominence of Barthelmess as a star and actor the title role was changed from the female character (as portrayed int he story) to the more picturesque male lead in the picture. The filming of the war scenes a stupendous undertaking was done at Camp Lewis, Washington, with the aid of the War Department and the technical advice of the officers and assistance of the regulars at the camp.
