People behind the production
Brown of Harvard refers to a historic silent film identity derived from the 1906 Broadway play by Rida Johnson Young. The title spans three early films (1911, 1918, 1926), each drawing from the same theatrical source. The 1926 film is notable for featuring John Wayne in his film debut in an uncredited role as a Yale football player.
