 Regeneration 1915  N/R, 66 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Raoul Walsh
Cast: Rockliffe Fellowes, John McCann, Anna Q. Nilsson, James A. Marcus, Maggie Weston, Harry McCoy, Carl Harbaugh, William Sheer
Filmed in the Bowery section of New York City, this is the story of Owen (Rockliffe Fellowes) who was orphaned at 10, grew up on the streets, and became a gangster. After he meets Marie (Anna Q. Nilsson), a social worker in the slums, he decides to try to make something of himself. But–it won't be easy. Raoul Walsh's first feature film is a good one as he captures the atmosphere of the area and uses inventive photography (for the time).
